Yup...StG is the usual abbreviated form used for Canada's Starr-Gennett
label! These were pressed by the Compo Company...who also issued
Gennett recordings on their other labels such as Apex. The numbering for
Gennett-based Apex records (Apices?) is rather unique; they started at
499 and ran "backwards" to around 380 or so!
