[78-L] "Armed forces record" info request

[Joe Salerno]

I'm guessing since there is no label scan to examine, but the P series 
Basic Musical Library was popular music. During the 40s it was from 
broadcasts, but later, commercial recordings (the same was true for the 
C classical series). I've heard that there may have been alt takes used 
on occasion, but no one has ever cited or documented an example that I 
know of. I doubt it personally.

I haven't seen a 12" disc, so take anything I say with an ocean of salt.
