[78-L] Blues on the radio

[Ate van Delden]

Dutch collectors had one major source for American blues records in the 
30ies and that was Singapore and Djakarta (or Batavia as it was then 
called). Apparantly Brunswick's 7000 race records were dumped there at the 
time and many found their way to this country in new condition. Most of 
these have by now left again (traded, sold) but there still are in Dutch 
collections.
Also there were a few specialized shops who sold new Paramounts, Columbias, 
Victors, presumably from American dealer's stocks.
