[78-L] Somebody Needs to Step in and Educate this Guy

[Malcolm Rockwell]

But, but... there are more matrix series that never appear in the 
existing Gennett ledgers! One is a second NY matrix series on the US 
Starr label that begins c. 1917 (or possibly even earlier), with matrix 
number "1", issue number as yet unknown.
The second matrix series also begins with "1" - although the earliest 
documented is actually "53", issued on Gennett 4702 - and comprises 
issues imported from Europe for US pressing and distribution by Starr.
Then there is a 1000 matrix series out of NY, beginning c. 1916. It runs 
to matrix 1470, c. 1918.
None of these series appear in the main NY and/or Richmond ledgers.
Do you have any info on the unknown disc? Title(s) and artist(s) maybe? 
Perhaps I can fill in the blanks.

There are no "Title," "No." or "Master" fields. just a blankgold on white label that has the mx. in pencil. Artist info is never given, and believe me that would have beenhelpful in the case of one disc a friend used to own that is not in the ledger.
