[78-L] Rex Hollywood

[David Lennick]

The Yiddish Metro label has no connection with Asch or Rem/Rex/Metro/ARA/enter 
your name here, no similarity in pressings or label design. Odd that Rem/Rex 
DOES seem to swipe Moe's Disc design..also possible that Moe wasn't using it by 
that time, having shut it down sometime in 1948 I believe.
