[78-L] Victor Symphony Orchestra oddity

[David Lennick]

Here is a Canadian late 30s pressing of Suppe's Poet and Peasant Overture, 
Victor Symphony Orchestra, apparently the same as VI 35797, but bearing the old 
acoustical number with a 1- prefix, which Canadian Victor added when they 
wanted to keep something in print that was no longer in the American catalog. 
Thus, Victor 135509. Odd. The Victor Master Book shows only part 2, recorded 
July 14, 1926 (CVE 35807-4). Part 1 must have been recorded at the same time 
but using the 1915 matrix number..on top of which, the electrical issue is a 
dub (-2R is in the 9 o'clock position). Anyone know if this was recorded at the 
same time, and who conducts? Bourdon? And why would Canadian Victor have the 
wrong number for this..especially when 35797 WASN'T deleted but still in print 
in the US in 1940? Real weird.
