[78-L] London -- Made in England?

[David Lennick]

It's that CA that's throwing me. That appears on Canadian pressings made from 
English stampers, but I don't recall ever seeing it on imported pressings. 
There's no difference between English pressed Londons shipped to Canada or the 
US that I can see.

I've never seen a US pressing of Skokiian. Canadian pressings all appear to be 
from the original Gallotone stampers.
