[78-L] Getting more mileage from a tune

[Jack Palmer]

    When Dalhart was under contract to Columbia in the late 19.20s he often 
recorded the same song for Columbia and for the cheaper labels.  He did two 
recordings, one for Columbia and one for the other labels.  The other labels 
were still acoustic until about 1930.  Dalhart used a pseudonym on  Harmony 
but Dalhart on Velvet Tone and Diva.  So the recordings were close to the 
same but sold at greatly different prices.    Jack
