[78-L] What's the story on Victor 17959?

[Tbroo at aol.com]

No, according to my notes the files show two deletion dates for 17959 - May  
1918 and Jan. 1920 - but I believe the former is correct since the last 
catalog  in which it appeared was Nov. 1917. It is not in the 1918 catalog or in the 
1919  Dealer Numerical (I just looked).
 
I'm not sure where the May 1916 deletion date came from. I believe this is  
incorrect in the online Victor discography as well 
(_http://victor.library.ucsb.edu/index.php_ (http://victor.library.ucsb.edu/index.php) ),  and they got 
their data from me!
 
So Victor kept this thing on sale for two full years. I guess they weren't  
as sensitive as we are now. I don't know how well it sold, although I do  have 
a copy.

 The_ (mailto:78-l at 78online.com>The)  files say this was withdrawn a month 
after release, but it couldn't be, 
 since I had a friend look it up in a 1918 Victor catalog, and it was still 
 available for sale. I reported this to John Bolig several months ago. I 
don't 
 know exactly when the disc was withdrawn (and I'd appreciate knowing), but 
 there's still plenty of copies out there.
