[78-L] Victor's Sunrise label

[SoundThink at aol.com]

I have one Sunrise - in fact, I got it from an old Docks auction in the  
1980s. The label is a little bit damaged, but still quite suitable for my  
purposes. It's S-3364: "Who Wouldn't Be Lonely" by the Lone Star Cowboys b/w  Tumble 
Down Shack in My Dreams by the Girls of the Golden West.

FOUND  ONE! 4, actually..don't count the top one, which is a postwar jazz and 
 
blues label. The bottom two are Victor products (no idea who put out the  
second  
one).
