[78-L] Near You by Francis Craig

[Taylor Bowie]

Sean,  I think it's an excellent record...who cares if it's rare or 
whatever?

I've played it again (my English Brunswick) and it certainly sounds 
note-for-note like the Bullet issue...but I haven't heard the Decca.  Is it 
possible that Decca scored the masters from Bullet and just reissued them 
and then on Dot?
