[78-L] Capitol in Mexico via Jo Stafford

[Roger Wade]

Last year I had a Kay Starr recording on Mexican Capitol.  It was  
numbered similar to this one, with the C prefix, but it was an  
earlier label type for the purple and silver label than the one now  
pictured on ebay.  I don't remember the songs though and the record  
is long since sold.
