[78-L] Bluebird labels

[Han Enderman]

No, the buff BB label (yellow/blue) precedes the blue staff label.
An even earlier version of the buff label has a different manufacturer's name along
the lower rim (RCA Victor Company).
The issue pictured (B-6450 Double Check Stomp) also exists on an even later blue label,
without staff and with double rings (and still mentioning RCA Manufacturing Co.).

And may I remark that there are too many images on the Dooji pages. To consult a page,
I have to download a large group of label images. Yearly pages may be more useful.

>>> I have blue and yellow Bluebird labels on the 1930-1932 page of the 
Dooji Collection. .  Go here:

You can listen to the recording as well if you go to the Ellington 
page of the French "Jazz Old Time On Line" or "Old Time Jazz Online" site:

A bit of trivia:
The blue label with the music staff on it, the first one I show, 
seems to have been an early release since it doesn't have the Not 
Licenced for Radio Broadcast warning on it.  It's intereresting that 
this Bluebird label shows the record was made by RCA Manufacturing 
Co. Inc., while the Victor label right above it, You're Lucky To Me, 
recorded in the same session , was put out by RCA Victor Company, Inc.
