[78-L] Capitol A sides

[Han Enderman]

Cap 3262 Sixteen Tons does not have Y/Z sides, and 32173 also will not have them.
Last Y/Z side known to me from labels in the main series is:
Cap 1825-Z Les Paul: Jazz Me Blues (mx 7621, recd 7 Aug 1951).

Since Cap 1823 (Stan Kenton) was recd 20 Sep 51, the release date for 1825 
may have been Nov/Dec 1951.

>>> I think they used Y and Z for a fairly short time, late 40s into 1951. For Nat 
King Cole, B437 (Naughty Angeline/That's What) has Y/Z, indicating that they 
did appear on black label; 1010 (The Greatest Inventor/Mona Lisa) has Y/Z sides 
(and notice that they picked the wrong side), album sets like Hark! The Years 
and Cyrano have Y/Z as well as side numbers, but these are gone by 1952. (Don't 
try to figure this with Canadian Capitols..they used similar numbering systems 
that didn't match up with the US, well into 1954.)
