[78-L] Columbia R series

[Han Enderman]

Then the R could mean Rena, and the various numerical series are Canadian 
(R-2324 was also from a Canadian seller).
US printing/pressings I assume.
Was this UK material also pressed for the US domestic market
or was only Canada interested in such recordings?

Certainly looks to have been derived from English Columbia, which for a time 
was Columbia-Rena. There's also an R4000 series which I believe was sold only 
in Canada.
