[78-L] record pressing plants

[David Lennick]

According to ARLD, the Bullet label was still active into late 1952 (started in 
1946). One C. V. Hitchcock acquired Jim Bulleit's interest in early 1949. What 
became of the label itself? Did DOT take it over or did Wood get only a few 
sides? I have the ever-popular "Near You" on a Dot DJ vinyl, pressed from 
original parts. (Yes..a quiet copy!)
