I have a couple of Rex discs, and the (IIRC) label name is usually in the runout with the pressing number.  One look and it says "METRO-1271" up there....

Nice find :)

Yup, that's what it looks like to me as well. I've had Rem and Rex but not a 
Metro. All the same company. Late 40s, reissued a lot of ARA titles like the 
Spellbound and Art Tatum albums.
