[78-L] Stamps Quartet [was Paging any Texas label expert(s)...]

[Han Enderman]

You are right, I misread the "mx" when looking at a too small label image,
and thus did not see they were the same.
It appears that this Stamps Record 100 is not the same as the postwar 
Stamps Quartet 100 from Texas, of which I just found a mediocre image at 
http://78rpmrecord.com/labelview.cfm?firstLetter=S
and which plays When The Saints.
This also explains the quite different prewar label design.
So it is part of the Gnt personal series & a case of serendipity.

This record & titles not in Russell's CMR, but the Brunswick 27-10-1929 session 
includes V.O. Stamps (recorded in Dallas, Texas !) and this is the only session 
called Quartette instead of Quartet.

>>> Wait a sec. I believe these may have been pressed by Gennett c. 1926. 
The numbers you show as matrix numbers would actually be Gennett issue 
numbers (20194 A/B, not as you indicate - recheck the labels) assigned 
to the Gennett Personal series. The masters seem to have been from an 
outside source - I have found no indication they were recorded by 
Gennett. The typeface for the credits look like Gennetts, though, and 
20194 A/B fills in a hole in the personal series listing.
Comments?
