[78-L] Identification on Test Pressings

[David Lennick]

The first one is Yerkes Orchestra, intended as Columbia A3091..that much is 
visible on the label, but there's no numerical listing in the Columbia books so 
off to Tyrone's site we go..

..and that doesn't help  because according to it, A3091 is in the Educational 
Series and is the Columbia Orchestra playing March of the Little Lead Soldiers 
and Venetian Love Song, both recorded in the mid 1910s.
