Yea, Ward Marston had told me once that these were pressed up by an old guy
from California at some point in the late 60s / early 70s, I think.

Bella who...haha, exactly.  She is mentioned in the "Complete Biographical
Dictionary Of Singers" as making "a few rare discs for HMV in 1908-09".
Born 1877-Died 1963

Much obliged. Bella WHO?

Must have been a lot of these run off for some reason..I see an old 78-C 
listing from Earl Okin offering the Pagliacci item and noting that it's an 
unissued take. Well, it sure is issued now.
