[78-L] Canadian SPILKA UKRAINSKOI MOLODI-SUM

[David Lennick]

Arka was a big label for Ukrainian records in Canada. Very popular in the 
prairie provinces. Odd that RCA's T- masters don't indicate 33 or 78, just 
coarse groove. There are other prefixes including M (Montreal), PR (Private 
Recording) and S (used on a lot of 50s LPs, not sure what its significance is).
