[78-L] Matrix MR-443-2 Pee Wee Hunt 'Basin Street Blues'

[david.diehl at hensteeth.com]

This was recorded for Mirror Records in 1946. FM reissued it in the late forties when Hunt made those gawdawful Capitol things that sold so well. Eli Oberstein bought the Mirror sides around 1954.

Greetings. I have Pee Wee Hunt's fine version of 'Basin Street Blues' on 2 records, one is FM label, the other is Mirror label, both have the same matrix number MR443-2. I'm trying to figure out what the MR stands for to connect the releationships between the orignal recorder label and these other two.Any ideas? I don't think its Mercury.Thanks!
