Based on the catalog number and label design, this record was part of the first selection of 140 older recordings coupled on the new double-faced Victrola records, cf. announcement in The Talking Machine World, September 15, 1923, page 24

It's not my personal "primary source". I don't think that the gentleman went to the company and spent all of the time and trouble to compile this data to have his work referred to as a "secondary source". But if your release date makes you happy, then I'm happy right along with you.

The data in the Bolig Discography is pulled from the original blue file cards. It a file card is lost for a record, it will state that. It may have been announced on November 28, but it was released after the first of December.

@ xiphophilos. I have John Bolig's Victor Red Seal Discography for the single-sided records sitting here on my desk so you may want to let me date these.

The center label diameter appears to be ~3.5" in this case, as opposed to the standard ~3" for 78's.

The new {Images #3196381 & 3196382}, in order, should come before {Images #1346428 & 1346429}. [Done! Mod.]
