You're right.On Pandora Radio,they show a picture of an RCA Victor 78 of Kenny Clarke's recording of "Epistrophy" and it has the words "Swing Classic" above it.The same was true 
of the Bunny Berigan Memorial Album set I had years ago on 78.The album was issued on
RCA Victor rather than Victor:I believe RCA decided to incorporate "RCA" in RCA Victor in '46.

 Dave was just curious about the Swing
 Classic designation being on only one 
 side. I'm sure I've seen other instances where that
 occurred. And as for the 
 batwing label, Canada used it till 1946.

 you how long Canada used the bat wing design however.I saw
 them in an album in a North Bend,Oregon Goodwill store about
 a year ago.They were of Glenn Miller as I recall and the
 sides were from the early '40s.I don't believe they are a
 curiosity.
