xiphophilos 31st Oct 2021		Here are the details, Han: Two concentric label rings of equal length = Camden pressing Two concentric label rings of unequal length = Indianapolis pressing Two equally long concentric label rings broken at 10 o' clock and 2 o'clock = Hollywood, CA pressing per user W.B.lbl on Steve Hofman's Music Forum, see also https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/827418#8219937 For the later ring labels with the company name RCA Division of Radio Corporation of America (starting in fall 1943): Two concentric circles broken away from small RCA circle = Camden pressing. Two concentric circles nearly touch small RCA circle = Indianapolis pressing. Two concentric circles, broken at top, nearly touch small RCA circle = Hollywood pressing.

han enderman 31st Oct 2021		B-side label added + both labels from a later Bluebird pressing. Note that the youtube label pictured here is from a different Victor pressing plant (double rings not shortened) [have no exact details of these at hand]
Mike Gann 26th Jul 2019		B-side label too faded to upload
Mike Gann 26th Jul 2019		Camden pressing (2 equally long label rings)
