[78-L] Pagliacci set on British Columbia

[Matthew Duncan]

Hi

British Columbia records were 80rpm from the outset until about 1927 or 28 then 
changed to 78rpm.  Some 80rpm records were available long after the late 20s.

Regards
Matthew.

Anyone interested in this set?

During the early-mid twenties, British Columbia cited their speed as 80 rpm!
