[78-L] GASTON ST JACQUES recordings

[David Lennick]

Gaston St. Jacques recorded 9 sides for Columbia in New York, January 1927. All 
are in the 4000F or 34xxxF series (or both) and two were reissued on VT 7149-V. 
Looking at the number index in Spottswood (which is real fun because there are 
no headings on the pages), I find 7028-V, 7029-V, 7243-V, 7148-V and 7149-V are 
listed (I'll see what's on them later).
