[78-L] question about King Oliver Creole Jazz Band recordings

[Malcolm Rockwell]

If from Gennett they were all reissues from (1923/24) acoustically 
recorded material obtained through either leases from Gennett or from 
other companies who may have purchased the masters when Gennett went out 
of business in the mid 1930s. Oliver also recorded for Brunswick  
independent of Gennett from 1926 to 1928.
I'm not up on when the album sets were released, though. My best 
guesstimate would be late 1930s - early 1940s, and possibly even into 
the WW2 years. as many companies relied on reissues of existing material 
during the war or the musician's union recording bans.
Perhaps someone else can fill in here.
