[78-L] Identification on Test Pressings

[Malcolm - Venerable Music]

Great - I could not make out the artists, but now see it's Yerkes. They are 
10" and the first is A3091 as you suspected.
The second is almost surely a 5 as the first number but the other three are 
tough. Could be 5883 or 5683??
Are they definitely Columbias?

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.
