[78-L] Majestic label

[Thomas Stern]

Hi Cary,
  Can you send scans of the labels?  THANKS!

  Anyone else have Majestic 78-100 series releases ???  I am trying to compile data on this series.

  From what I can see in Billboard, the label was licensed to GORDON BURDGE who ran EAGLE and ABC EAGLE.
  Matrix numbers usually SA prefix ranging from 100's up to 1000's.  I think they must have been mastered by
some outfit in LA or SF, not their own.

  An advertisment in Billboard 25/11-50 lists:  Some as 45's some 78, some both.

I just acquired a Majestic 78 (78-141) in their Folk Classic Series. It has a bright green label - tracks were probably recorded
in Los Angeles (master numbers are LA-302-A & LA-302-B). Artist is Charley Marshall (The Old Maverick). Folk singer with guitar.
Any idea of a recording or release date?
