[78-L] Pairing artists for greater sales

[David Lennick]

Artists still referred to the label as "Victor". Dinah Shore does so on an 
early 50s broadcast. Pre-1946 Victor catalog numbers remained the same when 
they were re-pressed as RCA Victor.

And who the hell cares anyway? By now we've established that the Victor label 
was as prolific as most others (except Decca which carried on the pairing 
tradition Jack Kapp brought over from Brunswick) in combining artists, no?
