[78-L] Majestic - Mercury connection ??

[David Lennick]

Actually I have the Student Prince set on Varsity E35, 3 discs in one envelope. The back lists 53 sets which seem mostly from Majestic but probably have some Sonoras mixed in. Company is listed as Wright Record Mfg. Co. Meriden, Conn if that helps date them.

It also seems that subsequently, Mercury turned a lot of Majestic masters over to Oberstein. Seems to me I have that Student Prince set on 3 vinyl 78s in an envelope on  yet another label.
