[78-L] New York records?

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Unfortunately by what is written it is only implied that the 1931 
session was done in New York.
I wonder what Spottswood's ethnic discography has to say? Lessee...
He only gives the 1918 session for Victor, "Maamme - National Hymn" 
under the name Soittokunta Louhi (Louhi's Band)  on Vi 72203 (which has 
32 bandmembers playing on it!) and a test of  "Pois Rannoilta Suomen". 
There's no mention of the second title being on the flip side. My 
conclusion is that "Maame" may actually be a single sided disc.
No mention of the 1931 New York Records session.
