[78-L] Reginald Foort, organist

[David Lennick]

Probably 1938 or 1939, based on this:

HMV originally, and aside from the 0 (10 inch) I'm not sure exactly when the ER 
series runs and if it refers to remote recordings. II will mean take 2 and the 
square will refer to the type of cutter or something..I no longer own the 
Beecham albums where all these symbols were explained in the notes.
