I have seen Victors in 50000 Japanese series with 3 label types:
1 - US issues, mentioning Camden at 6h;
2 - Japanese issues:
2A - Victor Talking Machine Co. of Japan, Ltd. 
2B - 2 Japanese characters at 6.

>>> Greetings from FixitLand!

Have stumbled upon two Japanese Victors (52535 and 52536) on YouBoob, labeled as by "The Victor Orchestra of America conducted by N. Shilkret":

52535  Ginza no Yanagi (mx 4753)/Manshu Koshinkyoku (4754)
52536  Tokyo Koshinkyoku/Shin Gion Kouta [can't make out mx nos., looks like same session]

Nothing yet found in EDVR...they sound like US recordings, circa 1927-29 or so, though Japanese Victor matrix numbers appear on the labels. Anyone have specific data on these?

TIA,
-
Joe
