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

[Jeff Sultanof]

I had copies of "Sound of Music" and "Fiddler" and these had the
regular RCA Victor black labels.

David Hall listed it in his "Record Book".  On the same day the T.S. recorded excerpts from the "Planets" and "Pomp and Circumstance Marches".  I think one or both of those may have been released on U.S. Victor.  Was the Montreal recording of Fauré's "Requiem" released on U.S. Victors?

I remember that earlier soundtrack recordings such as "Peter Pan" with Mary Martin were released on Green Label records and, if I remember correctly, "Paint Your Wagon" was issued on Green Label 78s, once again, I'm a long way from my records so my memory might be sketchy.
