[78-L] Same take - different stamper?

[Tim Huskisson]

Thanks David,
But why impossible to be laminated? There are laminated BRITISH HMV's and
Zonophones, though they don't turn up often.
Regards

Tim

Okay, the T1 is the answer..it's a dub. Victors would have a tiny R after
the take number if the disc had been dubbed on this side of the Atlantic
(and if I'm not mistaken, my Victor pressing IS a dub, with low static
throughout). As for its being laminated, that's impossible unless it's an
Australian pressing.
