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

[David Lennick]

The album sets in the US were 1942 on, once Decca gained access to pre-1932 
Brunswick masters. But a set of records was issued in England in the mid 30s, 
from dubs of scratchy and cracked Gennetts. Which is odd since US Decca might 
have had access to original parts.
