[78-L] HMV 216000 series questions

[Harold Aherne]

587 and 590 are, but I didn't find the other two (at least by using the "basic search"
functions for name and issue number):

Do we have any idea when the Northland Songs were issued? I would presume no later
than 1938, as both sides of 592 were recorded on 25 May of that year. Most of the 
Virtual Gramophone entries for 561 through 591 give only "between 1931 and 1939" for
the release date.
 
For the label enthusiasts: 460 was the highest I found that had only "His Master's Voice"
and the Berliner Gram-o-phone notation. Everything from 462 upwards seems to have 
both Victor and HMV at the top of the label as well as "Victor Talking Machine Co. of
Canada". (Later pressings of earlier issues also have those phrases.) 500 is the first I
saw with the oval VE on the label.

If Moogk didn't have the discs, he couldn't rely on the Victor catalogue, which 
lists all the titles in one bunch as "Northland Songs", 216587/90. It also says 
"See also Educational Catalogue"..big help. Even the main catalogue gives up 
and says "Etc" after "Golden Slumbers"..

Aren't these possibly in the Virtual Gramophone?
