[78-L] Vocalion Jewish series

[Han Enderman]

More thanks.
I see now that I have images of several of them (in Voc 14000s).
Most of these Jewish labels use a font different from other labels in the 14000s 
and have the A/B-side indication connected by a dash with the subsequent catnr,
for ex. A-14294 / B-14294. 
Possibly from a different printer, or is this a Hebrew dash?
Examples of popular issues are:
A 14280 Patrolman Frank Quinn;
A 14322 / B 14322 Michael Coleman.
I.e., not Jewish (as in your list), but I now see that these are Irish (Jigs/Reels) 
and therefore are in the Spottswood index.

I have some images of the Br 75000 Jewish series (75002 Olshanetsky & 
75009 Schwartz). Apparently a selection was made for Vocalion.

But this brings an interesting solution to the other question:
The Br 67000 series is Jewish. I have images in range 67039-67128.
Can you give the range for this Br series?
This will explain if Voc 67139-182 are a copy or a continuation of the Br series.

Right..and it's the only 0xxxxx in this run (ethnic, that is).

No idea..not in the Spottswood index.

75010-12 duplicate Brunswick 75010-2 and are by Maurice Schwartz. Other 
Schwartz Brunswicks don't seem to be duplicated.

14268 is Jean Alfred: Hatikvoh and Rosinkes mit Mandlen. (Spelling as per books.)

Jewish records begin on page 1293 and end on page 1552, so I noted any 
numbering series I could see between those pages (I was a bit off in my earlier 
range, below). Here are the 14000s in the Spottswood numerical listing:

14268
14280
14294
14322
14335
14360
14361
14365
14379
14380
14381
14396
14397
14449
14452
14485
14502
14521
14523
14538
14548
14560
14561
14567
14605
14610
14618
14647
14673
14699
14711
14720
14742
14762
--last one, as far as I can see. 14794 isn't Jewish..my bad.
