[78-L] Blue label Monkey Ward/Varsity Royale catalogue

[david.diehl at hensteeth.com]

Mike,
The white catalog with blue line drawings of Varsity and Royale must have been released in August 1939 and contains only reissues of Crown, Gennett and various European recordings. I don't have mx. numbers for 1714 but it is adjacent to some things with AGH prefixes which remain untraced.

I have a Frank Trumbauer on Monkey Ward that is also this color. They are 1939 recordings.
