Gah, my bad. I had Aaronson on the brain--20101 is indeed Olsen-Hamp!
 
Joe, do you happen to know what the contents were for 25638/42? They're all marked
"unknown" in the Online 78 Discography.

Greetings from FixitLand!


I buy that--almost. My 20101 copy is a Scroll, but I have 20100 on  
Batwing. 20101 couples "Lucky Day" by George Olsen and His Music with  
"Black Bottom" by Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders. The Aaronson- 
Olsen coupling would be 20100 ("Katinka" by Olsen/"Hard-to-Get  
Gertie" by Aaronson). The two Olsen sides are from the same 30 June  
1926 session.

I've got 25636 (Mezz Mezzrow "Blues In Disguise"/"That Is How I Feel  
Today", 14 June 1937) on Scroll Swing Classic. As far as I can tell,  
the last Scroll issue was an album containing 25638/42; I've got  
25640 on Rings but the typesetting suggests to me it was spaced for  
the Scroll design (catalog number is closer to the label rim than the  
hole). I don't have 25637 (Victor Concert Orchestra coupling), but I  
do have 25643 (Jean Sablon) and it appears to be original on gold  
Rings. 25644 is a Benny Goodman Quartet coupling, and Russ Connor  
states 25634 (the previous Goodman number) was the final Scroll BG  
issue.

Take care,



J. E. Knox "The Victor Freak"
