This was ARC's retaliation for Jack Kapp jumping ship and starting 35 
cent Decca and taking some of their names with him such as Lombardo and 
Bing.  They put out a whole bunch of these traitors' old records on 
Melotone and reduced the price to a quarter.  Also some on Romeo, 
Oriole, Banner, Perfect, and Vocalion.
