[78-L] Judy Canova Records

[David Lennick]

I get from those references that she did record for RCA Victor, but not in the 
40s..that must refer to the Camden lp. On 78s, I have her on Mercury, Majestic, 
Sterling (reissued from Varsity) and a couple of other labels..definitely not 
Victor. And Bud Black has just mentioned Decca. The Canova family is also on 
Gennett (unissued tests) and the ARC labels in the 30s.
