Some of these masters found their way to Australian (and maybe British as well) EMI pressings. Your saying that they are "highly collectible" puzzles me, the one or two Aussie Regal-Zonos of "Hank the Yodeling Ranger" I happen to have I received as packers with Ebay purchases from down under so they must have been in that seller's junk box. Took me ages to figure out where the masters came from as I naively thought any C&W recording would be from a USA source, and they (obviously) wouldn't fit into any US Victor series.
