[78-L] Non-Bluebird/ RCA Spike Jones 78s

[David Lennick]

Do you need the Banjomaniacs on 78 or 45? I have both (I know where the 45 is, 
the 78 might take some searching).

The Verve was indeed a 2-track per side 78. Issued in Canada, too. I've never 
seen the "replacement" version of 2003. Jack Myrtle lists this as "unconfirmed" 
in his book Thank You Music Lovers. All tracks are under 2 minutes.
