In Dalhart's case, it would be more of a surprise NOT to find the same song on 
several labels!

I've just come across  Vernon Dalhart singing "The Death of Floyd Collins". one of the records is  a Perfect label with "Many, many years ago on the B side and the other is a Conquerer label,  with Dalhart singing "A Boys best friend" on the B side. Would assume  both of these records were cut at approximately same time, since it would seem logical to me there  was a  pretty short popularity period for the Collins song.  Any additional  info on this  appreciated.
