I know they were released on both labels, but what IDIOT would 
PURPOSEFULLY pay 75 cents for the EXACT same record he could buy for 35 
cents!!  And of course both records are in new unplayed condition so 
that is not a factor as it is with us now.   I do understand getting it 
in a vertical Pathe, but those were phased out by that time and I did 
specifically mention Actuelle.  Alternate takes appear on the same 
label, as well as on the alternate labels.  I don't know how much 
non-collector purchasers of new records were concerned or even noticed 
alternate takes.
