[78-L] Goldkette "I Didn't Know" alternate??

Greetings from FixitLand!

I'm not quite sure what you mean here, Julian. "They produced two  
titles" --? Only one title (of the three cut that day) is being  
discussed here, and five takes of it were made. The YouTube poster  
claimed it was an alternate, but as a US resident I can't view it.  
What I'm wondering is only if the video contains an actual alternate  
or just the well-known take 2.

ADBD shows only -2 because that was the only known issued take -- and  
that on LP. Had no take at all been issued, the listing would've read  
"31206-1-2-3-4-5" and "Vic rejected".

"I Didn't Know," "I Want To See My Tennessee" and "Remember" were cut  
24 November 1924. (Take 4 of the middle title and Take 3 of the  
latter issued on Victor 19548.)

Take care,


Joe
