[78-L] "Buccaneer" lacquers..info please?

[Michael Biel]

RCA Victor put out an album of her African recordings in 1939.  P-10 
"African Music -- Rhythm in the Jungle  Vol 1"  Recorded by Laura C.
Boulton on the Straus West African Expedition of the Field Museum of
Natural History.  I have a copy of this album minus one of the discs. 
Green labels, record numbers 84-89.  The album cover has several
photographs including one of Laura, her equipment, and some natives. 
Anybody know if there was a Volume 2???

Buccaneer? Sounds like a pirate outfit to me.

Are you sure it's not Laura C. BoUlton? She was an ethnomusicologist,
which would fit neatly with the material you have.

Wackypackia has a small page on her:
