[78-L] Speaking of Canadian pressings for the US, was Re: Victor scrolls

[David Lennick]

As the subject line says, speaking of Canadian pressings..I see many red label 
Deccas which are easily identifiable as coming from the Compo plant in the 
early 40s, but whose labels are all American. Some also have "Stamped in 
Canada" in the dead wax (usually across a run-out groove, so say goodbye to 
your needle point) but not always. Does anyone know if these are the result of 
the US requiring better quality pressings or the smaller market up here not 
making it worthwhile to print Canadian labels for things like "Panama Hattie"?
