Subject: [78-L] RCA Victor "X" series listings - preliminary list



"X" LX/LVA 3010-12 unissued.
LX-3010 scheduled with same contents as LVA-3013, but cancelled (from my notes,
pres taken from Hendersonia); prefix for 3010 most likely LX, as before.

LVA-3019 unissued. My notes state: Presumably = EVA-13 + EVA-14 (EPs unissued).
[note that LVA-3018 Oliver = EVA-11 + EVA-12 (EPs)]
LVA-3022 unissued.
3019 & 2022 not announced in Record Changer Nov 1954 advertisement.

LVA-3041-3050 all unissued.
LVA-3041 Morton, v.3
LVA-3042 McKinney, v.2 {all on Victor(J) RA-5314, 16x LP]
LVA-3043 Fats Waller & Rhythm, v.1
LVA-3044 Ellington, v.2 [all appeared later on Victor(J) RA-5299, a 16 track LP]
LVA-3045 Bechet-Ladnier
LVA-3046 Bigard
LVA-3047 Dodds [4 titles on EP HMV 7EG-8233]
3048/49 unknown
LVA-3050 Moten, v.4 [test pressings mentioned in Sheridan, Count Basie, as RCA LVA-3050 
"The Count Comes To Kansas City"]

Early issues also on "X" EPs, for ex.:
LX-3000 = EVAA-3000 + EVAB-3000 = HMV 7EG-8062 + 8083.
etc.; this series ends with LX-3009 = EVAA/B-3009.
LVA-3013 = EVA-1 + EVA-2 (EPs) = HMV DLP-1066 (10" LP); all titles on Vic(J) RA-5306 (16x).
LVA-3020 = EVA-15 & 16. All on RA-5343. These were the last EPs.
All titles of LVA-3025 also on Camden(Arg) CAL-3022 (16x).
etc. (many reissued on Vic(J) RA-series; and some titles (often alt. takes) on UK HMV and US 
Camden LPs and on RCA Encyclopedia of Jazz LEJ-series).

X LVA-1000 = Vik LVA-1000 = Vik LX-995 (and later issues on RCA).
X LVA-1007 = Vik LVA-1007 = Vik LX-998 (poss. incorrectly as X LX-988 in the Benny Goodman dg).
X LVA-1009 = Vik LX-999.
I have no info on other Vik issues of this series.
