[78-L] BG question

[Han Enderman]

I have several label images of the various issues in this 78rpm 27-xxxx series.
All are Record Prevues.
Surprisingly they occur in a few limited ranges, and possibly do not form a
continuous series.
27-0114 - 27-0119 (0118 not seen) = All Star Band & Goodman sets.
27-0135 - 27-0143 (0136 & 0139 not seen) = Great Trumpet / Tenor / Artie Shaw sets.
27-0159 = Glenn Miller.

>>> > Something struck me while looking over this material today: we've assumed the 78s have catalog numbers identical to the 45s (27-0117 etc). Connor lists them that way, I believe others do too. But those "catalog" numbers are in parentheses on the promo labels, as if referring to the 45rpm releases instead of designating the 78s.

Right..that's Victor's standard style, and there wouldn't have been commercial 
78RPM issues for any of these sets by 1952. "Great Trumpet Artists" is similar, 
3 discs in a packer, 27-xxxx numbers in parentheses on the labels. 
A single 45 on my shelf, Tommy Dorsey's "Boogie Woogie" b/w Larry Clinton's "Martha", 
is 27-0003 from set WPT 2.

By the way, I've had 4 or 5 of these promo sets and never seen a liner note in 
any of them.
