Thanks for the info. Now I have to get a Vocalian pressing, anorak that I am.

But - I thought that Harmony was also a Columbia imprint until 1933 or so.

BTW -- the Harmony pressing, while looking very nice from the 
scratches and use standpoint, has a dull finish. The OKeh one is nice 
and shiny. I wonder if floor sweeping were an integral part of the 
material used by Columbia for the Harmony re-issues :-)
