[78-L] Canadian, American, like what's the difference eh?

[David Lennick]

The Canadian operation pressed many of the important recordings but also tried 
to replace many with their own versions in the 216xxx series. I never saw a US 
Victor in the flesh till I began serious collecting in the early 60s, other 
than the odd one someone had brought up on a trip. Columbias were a different 
story, looked almost identical. Brunswicks said made in Canada but the labels 
were virtually identical (not forgetting the earliest Vertical ones which were 
pressed only in Canada).
