[78-L] Br B-1000 album series query #2

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Thanks to David, Cary and Geoffrey and other 78ellers I'm a bit further 
along. There are still missing items but youse guys filled in a bunch of 
info I was missing. I went back and checked to see if the Ruppli Decca 
books had anything but, interestingly enough, even matrices coming from 
Decca did not show the individual record issue numbers or the fact they 
were assigned to albums. I was surprised.
So, I'm still missing some things, as I said.

Most glaringly it's the album titles I still need clarification on, 
especially for album sets Br B-1004 (Cab Calloway), B-1005 (Blues Piano 
Players), B-1015 (Bing Crosby), B-1016 (Louis Armstrong Bands), B-1018 
(Jelly Roll Morton), and B-1026 (Bobby Hackett). I want full descriptive 
title as they appear on the album cover, such as *Chicago Jazz Classics: 
Benny Goodman and his Boys.*
I'm also still missing side designations for 2 Louis Armstrong records 
(Br 80060 & 80061) and 2 Wilmoth Houdini records (Br 80085 & 80086).
There's also a question about some of the singles after Br 80101. There 
are 4 Ben Pollack sides (Br 80121, 80122, 80148 and 80149) that show 
BP-106 on each label. These would SEEM to indicate that they may be part 
of an album set, but I am not sure of that. Two NORK records (Br 80118 & 
80120) show a similar number, which is BP-102.
Any ideas or clarifications?
That's it for now.

Thanks again,
Malcolm
