[78-L] Ge laughing record (was: BACKGROUND ARTIFACTS)

[Bud Black]

All this talk about "laughing" records.  How many "crying" records can you
come up with?  One could be Jerry Colonna's recording (on Capitol IIRC) of 
I Cried For You."

Yes, it's a typo - should be Ge 4994-B.
On Gennett products the take letter follows the matrix number in every
case I've ever seen. I am not sure what other letters (or numbers) in
various runout locations are about. Could yours mean what side of the
record it is? The mother #? Stamper #? I don't know.
