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.
