[78-L] Victor 19571, was Re: Victor Scroll Labels in Canada?

[Steve Williams]

Yes, I had said there were Victor-recorded sides prior to April 2nd that
were released. (so much text to wade through.. <g>) I picked 19636 because
it's a favourite record, there is an obvious history of acoustic then
electric efforts to make the sides which are not specifically documented by
Rust, and 19571, 19626, and 19636 are three out of four of the earliest
Victor electric popular-series releases, surrounded by a sea of acoustics.
I didn't notice 19630, thank you very much for that.  I may have that record
and will look for it.  If not, I'd welcome a copy..  :-) Also for decades
I've been trying to find 19626, without the slightest luck..  I just like
very early electrics, they have a special sound.

There are a bunch of electrical recordings made by both these 
organizations in the ledger sheets but were not issued.  But there are 
issued black label sides recorded prior to April 2.
