Common? This is the only one I've ever seen! And it's as you described, with 
the name slanted and a pair of 16th notes over the "o". The cutting looks like 
late 40s Varsity (which was probably derived from Majestic reissues) or like 
A-Bell. My other question is, where did Obie get the Horne side from? Matrix VH 
125.
