[78-L] Orville Knapp

Don't forget the Dorsey Bros "The Spell Of The Blues" with der Bingle.  I
first slapped that on at 78 and Bing sounded ill, had to go up to about 82
to get it in key!

OK, it's an Okeh, not a Victor, but still!

To get back to Victor, a number of Whiteman / Crosby / Rhythm Boys seem to
be 75 RPM.  Picked up "Five Step" with them on a scroll Victor yesterday at
Wayne, never saw that one before.

And yet most of Helen Kane's early Victors need to be played close to 80.
That 
surprised me.
