han enderman 15th Jan 2022		Vic 24549-A - The 3 recordings were made in China (DAHR). 3 June 1936 is date of dubbing. But most remarkable for Victor 24548 & 24549 is the release date Sep 1936, considering that 24554 was released on 14 Feb 1934 and 24555 on 21 Feb 1934 (in DAHR). Thus these adjacent releases were orig. issued with RCA Victor Company labels (confirmed by images of both), while 24548/49 were first issued with the label type in use in 1936, being the RCA Manufacturing Co scroll label (also confirmed for 24548, which exists with both (2-line and 1-line Camden NJ USA) location variants). Victor 24547 was released on 28 Oct 1935 (DAHR; also very late). So why did Victor wait 2.5 years before releasing the quite remarkable coupling of 24549? It seems that Victor after 24532 continued with 24552, reserving in-between numbers for Songs for Schools (see list). And in1936 Victor filled the remaining gaps in the numbering order.

xiphophilos 3rd Oct 2021		C(harles) F(rancis) Abdy Williams (1855-1923), a noted music scholar, published on music history from the ancient Greeks to the late Victorian period and composed music in ancient Greek modes for the Greek plays at Brasenose College in 1895, 1898, and 1900. In 1911, he published a book "The Aristoxenian theory of musical rhythm" where he discussed the use of rhythm in classical and romantic music from Handel to Tchaikovsky in the light of ancient Greek musical theory, focusing particularly on the earliest writings by Artistoxenus of Tarentum (fourth century BCE). There is an article about him in the 1906 "Who's Who".
W.B.lbl ● 2nd Oct 2021		Evidently, {Images #443690 & 443691} indicate this being in the active catalogue well into ~1948-49, if it carried over to the 1946 renaming as RCA Victor.
