I have several "Judson" records! IIRC, they usually say "recorded but not
pressed by...Okeh Records." (or something to that effect...?!). Two of
these are demo records for Philco radio sets...but I have three/four other
ones which are early-thirties "transcriptions." At least one of my Judsons
credit Brusiloff...!
