[78-L] BG question

[David Lennick]

Those were promos for ten-inch lp reissues, and I have no idea why they 
assigned retro matrix numbers..they were doing that in the 40s as well. Not on 
master pressings, I don't think, but definitely on dubs. Columbia also did this 
but retained the original matrix numbers.
