You are correct. And it was probably the same orchestra anyway whether the 
named leader was Stapleton or Chacksfield or Roland Shaw. The follow up was 
"One Man And His Dog"..was that on 78 anywhere? We were receiving 45 promos by 
that time so I don't know how late London was issuing 78s in Canada except when 
the odd one turns up.
