[78-L] Early Columbia matrix

[David Lennick]

Is it in fact The Forge in the Forest? I've seen many Columbias where the wrong 
stamper was pulled. If it was a band instrumental, nobody noticed the 
difference. A few pressings of The Midnight Attack by Prince's Band actually 
play something else from an earlier Columbia Band master.
