[78-L] Columbia A1608 - Old Comrades March

[DanKj]

 As 1900 predates the introduction of the 10inch disc by Victor AND the 
entry of Columbia into the disc field, I sincerely doubt this could have 
been recorded in 1900.  It certainly doesn't sound like the American 
Columbia recordings of the period;  to me, it sounds like the product of an 
English or German studio.
