...which DL didn't answer, oddly!

"South" was originally issued as a Victor "race record" (the V-38###, which 
I
finally found a while back...)! Apparently, c. 1934 the side became/stayed 
in
demand...and as a result appeared in the popular 2#### series...where it
remained virtually until the end of 78-dom!
