Looking at a couple Bessie Smith discs I pulled out, A3844 seems to omit the mother, but A3888, "Baby Won't You Please Come Home Blues" shows 3 - G - 165. (Flip side mystifies me a bit: "Oh Daddy Blues" shows 2 - BI ("bee - eye")- 170

My copy of Duchin's Ol Man Mose is 21 and one of the Two Black Crows I have is in the 60s and another is way over 100. What exactly do those numbers represent??  Can we infer quantities pressed from those numbers??
