[78-L] Columbia 3114-D

[David Lennick]

These are indeed dubs, because Columbia may not have had legal access to the 
eccentric trip groove at that time..English Columbia was able to use it after 
the EMI merger. If it's later, then who knows..Columbia kept on dubbing English 
matrices for some ridiculous reason, while pressing direct from others.
