Mercury purchased the entire Majestic Record operation in 1948, 
including Bob Fine's brand new studio. Mercury kept the Alfred Newman 
sides and the Eddy Howard stuff and a couple of other things but quickly 
resold the vast majority to Oberstein. He reissued everything from Dale 
Evans to Louis Prima. Bob Porter did a matrix listing in Record 
Research. Some of the Guarnieri sides originally came out on Majestic in 
the 75-cent white label 1000 series. The Varsity sides came out in 
1948-9, a few of these were pressed by Columbia and sound great.
Which sides do you have on the Varsity label?

===========
I have three Johnnie Guarnieri Varsitys:

Varsity 293 Nobody's Sweetheart/Jealous
Varsity 294 Mean To Me/My Gal Sal
Varsity 295 Make Believe/Exactly Like You

There are some alternative Guarnieri Majestic takes floating around. I 
think "Body & Soul" is available in trio and solo versions. Will check 
them out.
