[78-L] HMV 216000 series questions

[David Lennick]

I think the highest number is 216611, Band of H. M. Canadian Grenadier Guards, 
Vive le Canadienne/Jock O' York (216609/11 are by them).

I have 2 of the Frances James discs. 2 or 3 titles per side as follows:

216587A: Northland Songs: Canoe Song/Cradle Song/In the Garden I Love
216587B: Northland Songs: Voyageur Song/Mountain Stream/Old Time Christmas

216589A: The Mermaid/The Meeting of the Waters
216589B: Golden Slumbers/Busy Bee
