Matrix numbers,  please.  There were two U.S. samples like this, one 
with a very LARGE label on the promo side and the other with a regular 
size label on the promo side.  They were from around 1908 and l910 which 
is probably when the Canadian one was done.  There is a 12-inch disco 
single of a Michael Bolton song which has supposedly the Canadian sample 
on the other side.  I just got a second copy of it but have not played 
it yet.  I'm still opening 3 1/2 months of mail that accumulated while I 
was in Brooklyn.
