[78-L] Phil Harris on OKeh and Harmony

[agp]

I'm looking to get some info on the original issue/ recording of 
That's What I Like About the South by Phil Harris. This is as opposed 
to the re-recording on RCA.

I have two copies of the original

OKeh 3583 (this is the common purple gold script OKeh label)
That's What I Like About the South (mx. LA1326)
Constantly (mx LA1327)

Harmony 1024 (this is the purple gold script Harmony label)
That's What I Like About the South (mx. LA1326)
Nobody (mx. LA1220)

If I have it right, the Harmony version was a re-issue in the 40s. 
I'd guess it was to try to grab the audience looking for the RCA 
version, but seeing as its backed with Nobody, was it also a response 
to Red Ingle's Nowhere, which was an parody of both?

But what about the OKeh version. I thought that his Columbia sides 
where just that -- on Columbia. So is it a reissue, also?

What are the recording dates and issue for these disks?

Finally, and I'm sure that this is a topic that has seen lots of 
mention, the LA of the master number -- does it stand for something - 
Los Angeles? Lateral?

Thanks
