[78-L] Victor Red Seal 2900x

[David Lennick]

This is a Canadian series. They'd add a "2" in front of any series they wanted to produce from European or Canadian masters..hence, 216000+ or 24000+ or 26000+ or 29000+ .

Does anyone know anything about Victor Red Seal records in the 29000 count?  I 
have three Mark Hambourg recordings on 29004, 29005 and 29006, (the last two are 
the Moonlight Sonata).  Steven Barr's dating guide only mentions one record in 
the 29000 count, (29175), at its date is 1/24.  The ones I have are definitely 
electrical recordings.  These records appear to be from the late 20s, they have 
large Red labels with "VE" in an oval and the word "Orthophonic" with "True in 
Sound" in tiny letters under the "p".  They just have an eccentric groove for 
run-off, no spiral.  I also have John Bolig's Red Seal Discography which covers 
up to 1929 but the highest number there is 10012.

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
