[78-L] David Stone Martin

[Han Enderman]

Assuming the Asch albums were issued in numerical order (within a series), 
the MLW album (351) is not the first DSM cover.
Album 344 Square Dances is signed David Martin.
345 B.Ives is DSM on the early pressing and has a photo on the later issue (why?).
348 Josh White.
102 Bach by Balogh is DSM; 200 is Roosevelt Memorial (pres. 1945).

The numerical order of the 300 series is not clear to me. 
Lowest Album nr I know is 330.
Similar odd starts(?) in 400 & 600 series; the 500 series starts with 550.

>>> Possible, but the Waller album was recorded 4 or 5 months before the Mary Lou 
Williams set claimed as the first. February and March 1944 vs August. We need 
to find a release date for it.
