[78-L] Scroll label

[David Lennick]

I am 99% certain that all the Rogers discs had run-outs on the original 
pressings, and these were easy to add in any event. 25126 is master pressed and 
my copy has the modified Batwing label Victor used for virtually all acoustic 
re-pressings I've seen..anyone know if it was on Scroll when first issued in 
1935? This still doesn't answer the question, except for Dave Weiner's note 
about one Caruso disc accidentally having a Scroll label.
