I'm sorry for yet another blue wax thread. A couple months ago I  
picked up a copy of Mildred Bailey singing "When Day Is Done" on  
Vocalion 3057 (rec. 09/20/1935). It has that nice black and gold  
Vocalion scroll label, but the record is pressed in smooth laminated  
blue wax. It's the first blue wax Vocalion I've ever turned up. I'm  
guessing they aren't common. This has me wondering now if any blue wax  
Brunswicks have ever surfaced since Vocalion and Brunswick were under  
the ARC umbrella along with Columbia by late 1935. Come to think of  
it, are there any blue wax OKehs? Until finding this particular  
Vocalion example, I had only ever seen blue wax Columbias.
