* Already released by 78 or reproduced edition.
** Recording session was made on magnet tape by RCA and released by LP, 45 and 78.
*** Recorded but never be released by 78
**** Recording session was made on magnet tape by RCA, but never be released by 78. Only HMV released 78.
# According to the booklet (APR6004), it was remarked that the piano piece was released by 78, however, I suspect it was true. It seemed only recording session was made so far.
From RCA recording number, alphabet “M” is used for Victor, and “DM” is for RCA Victor or other labels. The origin of production was RCA, commercially released simultaneously.
I.2.4 78 rpm Release Year
First of all, I must tell you that it was not very easy to identify the 78 release year. For any HMV recordings, when it was reproduced by LP, the booklet had provided the information of the original 78 number, along with the release year. Relied on these information and other resource available, I had continued the further investigation and complied the summary of 78 release year below. There are some 78 collections that RCA licensed HMV’s original session and made it available for commercial release, and vice versa. In addition, I have noticed that the recording number given by both labels had the certain logics, which helped my research and interpretation as to identify the release year. The original 78 was printed with a plain record number, while the licensed item was marked with [ ].
RCA record number had started with the alphabet “M-“, “DM-“, “AM-“, “V-“ or “DV-“. While there was no official interpretation of the chronological order of these alphabet, I personally concluded that V was prior to DV, M was prior to DM, and came up with the summary below. It seems that DB-21425 had never been released by HMV.
