[Leica] OT: His Master's Voice

[ljkapner at cox.net (Leonard J Kapner)]

As far as I can remember, the British Victor HMV recordings were distributed
by the RCA, but were a different color label than the domestic product. I'm
thinking of the old 78 rpm acetate platters and the early 33 rpm vinyl
pressings. I don't know what happened once the Victor HMV was sold, about
the time the M Series Leica came on the market. Hah! Back on topic...
