[78-L] 78 rpm "Numerology"

[Bryan Wright]

Every once in a while, I come across a 78 that, whether by coincidence  
or design, has a catalogue number that seems to take on special  
meaning -- either in relation to the song title or the band name. Two  
examples include Columbia 1861-D (The Mason-Dixon Orchestra, basically  
a one-time pseudonym for the Frank Trumbaur Orchestra and obviously a  
reference to the start of the US Civil War in 1861) and Decca 123  
("One-Two-Three-Four" by the Green Brothers' Marimba Orchestra). It  
may be stretching things, but I also notice that in the midst of the  
Depression, Victor 19666 is "Just a Little Drink" played by Paul  
Whiteman's Band. I know I've seen others that caught my eye, but I  
can't recall exactly what they were right now. I realize that almost  
any number can be twisted around to arrive at some special meaning,  
but what other 78 rpm catalogue numbers stand out as perhaps being  
more than "just" a catalogue number? I'm especially interested in  
numbers where it is likely that someone at the record company would  
have been fully aware of the significance, perhaps assigning the  
number as an internal joke.
