[78-L] Columbia A-466 Oh Promise Me

[cv5600 .]

Both numbers (3479 and 42) are the respective issue numbers of the original
single sided versions of these records. There are probably many takes of
42,both 7 and 10 inch, originally with labels saying Globe or Climax rather
than Columbia. Anyway, they are not mx numbers. It was common practice for
Columbia to re-issue their earlier, single faced material on double faced
records, often without a care as to pairing 2 sides that might fit well
together (like, maybe, 2 Rambler Minstrels records or 2 JW Myers records).
