[78-L] Keynote Kuriosity

[David Lennick]

I have it with 4, and some of those sides duplicate discs pressed by what was 
then Stinson Trading Company and have the same matrix numbers (and same style 
of cutting, done at Reeves). Since they were all essentially pirated from USSR 
originals, I guess sharing was no big deal. There are a few Keynote singles by 
the Red Army Choir, including the Internationale.

Seems to me there's a Timely set (Earl Robinson?) which exists with more than 
the normal 4 discs it's supposed to have.

And while looking for that one, I came across the Stinson set "Her Name Was 
Truth", narrated by Canada Lee..anybody know anything about that album?

The album lists 8 songs with lyrics on the inside of the front cover and the album has sleeves to hold 4 records.  Yet, the album had 5 records in it.  Four of them cover the 8 songs listed on the inside cover.  The fifth, the only that actually says Album 103 on the label, has two songs which are not listed on the cover.  This last record is K-207.  The others, which hold the 8 songs listed on the album are K-201, K-208, K-209, K-210.

Or perhaps they added it later and starting sticking two records into one sleeve to sell it as a 5 record set. You would think the numbers would be consecutive for the records with the songs listed.  Anyone else have this with the 5 records?
