[78-L] Purple label Victor

[David Lennick]

Mid-price series, between black label and Red Seal. It became blue label when they began double sided discs. Electrical equivalents were eventually 4000s and 9000s (Red Seal) for cheaper classical recordings and higher priced celebrity entertainers (Harry Lauder etc).
