[78-L] Ge laughing record

[David Lennick]

And it DID make it to 45, as I'm sure Mike Biel will tell us (just as he has a 
number of times in the past). But I've never seen the 50s reissue as a real 
pressing, only a promo. I've also had it on blue label Vocalion with "Laughing 
Record #2" on the reverse, a dubbed master with a matrix number around 19xxx, 
same number that appears on the 50s reissue..which means it's been dubbed twice 
by that time. I've also had it on laminated OKeh, late 20s; cracked red label 
original OKeh; a dubbed acoustical issue on Canadian Apex....think that's it 
for me.
