[78-L] OKEH Label Introductory Promo Record c.1949

[Han Enderman]

The promo label type is the 1940 OK label, started ca. 7/40 with OK 05622.
This has a 4-line legend under the OK logo.
Ca. Sep 1941 the upper line ("Registered...") was omitted.

Mid 1951 the label was revived with a slightly different, more bold logo, 
with a 2-line patent & registration legend below trademark.

You can see these various types on Glenn Longwell's site:

>>> 1940 is correct for when the label was renamed from Vocalion. It was revived 
again in 1951 as an R&B label (which didn't stop them from putting Johnnie Ray 
and the 4 lads over there), and the most recent OKeh revival is 2013.
