[78-L] 78 MASTER REFERENCE??

Sounds as if it's a dub from what has been designated as the master take, for 
final approval, and Radio Recorders was the originating studio (I thought RCA 
had its own Hollywood studios by this time, no?).

The label on the Dinah Shore side is by Radio Recorders and is a '78 MASTER REFERENCE' and RCA is listed as the 'Client' on the label.  There is no label on the flip side.
