[78-L] Gennett recording files

[Malcolm Rockwell]

These were leased by Gennett from UK Vocalion masters, possibly among 
others. Gennett had a trade agreement with Vocalion, references which 
appear throughout the Gennett ledgers. It's possible they came from 
other sources in the UK as well, but I have not located any.
There is a "regular" Gennett 9000 series (9000-9112 have been identified 
- there may be more) and also, as I said,  a separate 9000 series 
(9000-9115) which depended from UK Vocalion masters.
