[78-L] A novice-y type Purple OKeh question

[David Lennick]

Yes..Vocalion 84145, per Spottswood's Ethnic Music On Records. A reissue of 
Columbia 33353-F. Does the OKeh pressing appear to be a dub (later style 
run-out and font) or a modified master pressing (1928 style runout plus an 
added trip groove)?

I've never heard of ethnic purple label OKehs! It isn't listed in Spottswood 
either. Live and learn.
