I have Y-20....I don't know if there's a Y series shellac version, but that
coupling first saw the light of day in the regular black label pop series on
26399.  (When were these sides recorded?  Looks to be about 1938.)  My Y-20
is pressed from metal parts made from the original matrices, but the
original catalogue numbers have been rubbed out and 45-5106 A (or B) stamped
in place.
