[78-L] Reissue 78's...

[David Lennick]

6 record set, actually. And Victor did a 5-disc Whiteman set in the early 40s. 
Columbia also did a Kemp set, and Bessie, and even a Bert Williams album. And 
Decca did several jazz compilations, some of them giving North America the 
first local issue of sides John Hammond had produced for Parlophone.
