Which one is it? I've got at least one Graham Prince side [Victor 24080-A "Linger Longer (In My Arms)", labeled as by Eliot Everett and Orchestra]. Doesn't sound like Kardos to me; Peltyn maybe. Is yours one of the block recorded 13 June 1932? I think Rust lists those under Prince's name rather than Kardos or Peltyn (or Art Tist and his Orch. or wotever).

Love that Studio #1 hi-fi sound.

Take care,
