Not nessa, Sara Lee. Columbia was pressing 16-inch 33RPM transcriptions by 1931 
and the sound is magnificent on them. Some were even pressed as picture discs, 
like the "Famous Artists of the Air" Brian Boyd had. He also had a batch of 
Blue Coal Minstrels and Bulova 15 Minute Men from that same period, all 
obtained from Jim Hadfield.
