[78-L] Columbia blue on white labels, revisited

[David Lennick]

Thanks..I've forwarded the images to Jack. that 2938 doesn't make any sense at 
all if the English Columbia # is Ruby Helder, UNLESS the unknown side is Cohen. 
Right vintage. Also, the original title is "Cohen is Arrested for Exceeding the 
Speed Limit", and that's the title on the pressing I have (which is among the 
"not yet unpacked" stuff).
