[78-L] Jack Caiden (was Wesley Smith)

[Jack Raymond]

Yes, the Pearl reissue was taken from Yale's test pressing.

The 1943 reissue on Collectors Record Shop 8A was one of 250 copies and 
was taken from Columbia mx P-33214, which in turn was a dub of the 1912 
Columbia mx 19830.  The recording was also issued, in May 1946, on 
C.R.S. 8AA, a different master.
