[78-L] what a work of fiction

[Han Enderman]

I have numerous images of the Vic L-4500, L-16000 & L-24000 series (and some others), 
but the L-11600 series is rare (though seller seems to think 33-rpm is rare).
I have a clear image of Vic L-11645, which states on label: Schubert / Part 1.
Much rarer than the US issues (at least on ebay) are the Canadian HMV Program TXs.
But it is possible that they are shown on ebay among 33rpm LPs, and then I will miss them...

Is it known why this series seems to start at L-11600 (or -01) ?
My few images are in the range L-11607-656.

>>> It's also only a third of the symphony, and it's dubbed from the 78s. Trust 
Victor to spread that one out when it could easily have fitted on two sides, 
one movement per.

And Program Transcriptions were still in print as late as 1940, and 33RPMs were 
made for radio use and soundtrack playback and intermission music in movie 
houses and blah blah blah..
