[78-L] California Ramblers 1924 Electrical Pathe test. Is it Columbia?

[David Lennick]

According to the Columbia Books, it was issued as 236-D from Take 3 (mx 
140114). And quoting from the book (by Brian Rust), the next two masters by 
Paul Specht are rejected electrical recordings..Columbia was definitely 
experimenting with this. No indication whether the Ramblers disc is known to be 
electrical.
