[78-L] Arion label 78 disc

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Ooh, ooh, ooh!!
Arion 530 is from Gennett masters rec. NYC c. Feb. 21, 1923. Both 
matrices are from Gennett's 2nd New York master series and do not appear 
in the main ledger listings. There are no recording cards or ledgers for 
this matrix series so I've been reconstructing it as I go. I had both 
titles and artists in my database but no issue name or number. Thanks 
for providing this new info!
The artist credit as I currently show it is to Schwabische Kapelle 
Conrad Metterle. My titles are a bit confused, though. It looks like 
whoever wrote them down didn't know German. I show the-A side as "St. 
Philipes Mattzer" and side -B as "Bienenday Polka". Since you have the 
labels in front of you I bow to your spellings.
Unfortunately I have no artist history information.
Can you send me label scans?
Best,
Malcolm
