[78-L] Victor catalog: 1st Orthophonic discs

[Cary Ginell]

I erred when I said that there were some - I just recall a couple of anomalies reported on 78-L. But with the catalog, it would be interesting to find others! I know that I have a Montgomery Ward 78 with spirituals on each side: one acoustic and one electrical. Both come from Victor masters. I'll report on that one later tonight or tomorrow.

You have to know the titles, since they're all listed alphabetically. I didn't check to see if there were artist sections interspersed with the titles, as catalogs usually included.
