@DeweyGill, the Canadian 216000 series records weren't pressed from Victor masters, which would explain the lack of a US release. According to Steven C. Barr, 216000-series masters were recorded in Montreal.
Unfortunately it's a bit like trying to listen to music while hail is pounding on the windows, seven pounds of bacon are frying on the stove and the first world war is raging right outside the window, but this is indeed a really good performance. "Robert" could've been making records, and not just sizzly lacquer ones.
