[78-L] "Broadcast" 12

[Michael Biel]

It might have been interesting if you included at least the title of the 
work, if not the record and matrix numbers.  By the late 20s this 
happened on serious pop numbers like some of Duke Ellington's pieces, 
and of course, Rhapsody In Blue which had not yet entered the classical 
repertoire. And no, it is not that usual of this label in general.
