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

[Han Enderman]

The Canadian patriotic Columbia P series (blue-white with flag) has been discussed here long ago.
Did Canadian Columbia press records from the US catalog (A- & -D series) of the teens/20s ?
If yes, how can such pressings be recognized (minor differences on labels) ?

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).
