[78-L] side 2 same song

[Rjholtin]

I suspect 19766 could be a regional only issue, both sides cut in California, the tune obviously of special local interest.  It has been stated here that the first Orthophonic 19626 was a Philadelphia regional issue be cause it was a Mask n Wig Club record.  If that's true, 19766 as a regional-only doesn't seem unheard of.

The first Swing Classic was Star Dust on both sides - TD / BG on Victor 25230 -- a good way to introduce a special series/marketing tool using a tip-top tune and big name bands.

Seems a good bet that Victor 20-1561 with All The Things You Are by TD one side and Shaw on the other may have been an homage to Jerome Kern.  Methinks he died at about the time that was released.

Have a vinyl pressing of Sweetheart of Sigma Chi by Crosby on one side and Francis Langford on the other - both sides bearing the original label with original (yes, different) catalog numbers.  Obviously a special issue, not a regular series pressing.

Victor 19766 has two versions of "I Love You California." The A side  
is by Ben Black and His Orchestra, the B side is sung by Charles T.  
Bulotti.

Then there's that Moxie advertising record pressed by Gennett with  
Arthur Fields singing the Moxie jingle on one side and a dance band  
version on the other.
