[78-L] MGM-Supertone connection?

[Taylor Bowie]

I just looked at my copy of Harmony 988-H.  Besides the 100319 number it 
also has "1-A-1" in the runoff.

I've gone after these non-vocal "Rudy Marlowe" sides for years and have 
never run into different takes of any of them...not saying there aren't any 
but I've never seen any.
