[78-L] He's back...!; "RCA Victor Co." Scroll label

[David Lennick]

Welcome back! I have a couple of Victor oddities to ask about as well. The Pied 
Pipers recorded 4 sides in 1933. 2 are on Victor 24313 and the other 2 are on 
Victor 23806. How come 23806, huh? As well, both are Canadian pressings by 
"Victor Talking Machine Co. of Canada". How long was that designation still in 
use up here?
