[78-L] Blue wax Columbia date??

[David Weiner]

Oops - you're right, Han! I missed 3139-D when going through the records
yesterday - my bad!

The West Coast pressings have a small indented ring around the center area
of the label and also have a slightly different pressing style, with a
slight raised "rim" around the outer edge.

Frankly, I find CBWs a pain in the toches. The collectors' fixation with 
them means that some otherwise innocuous items are fetching unreasonably 
high prices.
