[78-L] French vocal

[David Lennick]

Non. The original label (I have another sample, with dubs of a couple of 
Leadbelly recordings) likely says POPULAR DISC at the top, 78RPM along the 
left, 50C/S along the right (hence the stroboscope markings) and "Manufactured 
by M.S.S. Recording Co. Ltd. Colnbrook, Bucks, England" around the bottom..I've 
seen this label a number of times.
