[78-L] Columbia R series

[Kristjan Saag]

The R-2324 was a UK Columbia recording in the mx 28000-series 
(Catalogue: UK Columbia 2324, without prefix). To compare: the 2325/ 
28713 was out in February 1914, the 2324 must have been pretty close to 
that.

Laycock recorded several titles with the St Hilda Colliery Band at the 
time: here's another one:

Some of the St Hilda recordings were released in the US Columbia 
A-series as well.

This particular record, BTW, was announced in the January 1915 issue of 
the Canadian Columbia Double Disc-catalogue:
