[78-L] French-Canadian STARR record - Mis-Matched Sides?

[Clifford Bolling]

There is indeed a faintly scratched 5741-1 as you said.  
 
Thanks, everyone, for clearing up that mystery for me!  CDB

Okay, nothing wrong with my system that looking at the volume on Media Player 
didn't solve (it was at zero for some reason). That is indeed Les Policemen 
which should be on Starr 15682. Look at the matrix number, hand scratched in 
small print..it should be 5741-1. 15680 is le mistake.
