 This is what Roger Beardsley in an essay "Speeds and Pitching of 78rpm Gramophone Records" said about Columbia's Speed 80:
"Mention of the great Dame Clara brings us to the question of Columbia speeds. For many years their labels specified 'speed 80' even though the generally recognized speed was 78. Those of Dame Clara's records made during Columbia's 80rpm era seem to play at anything between 76 and 83rpm. It is most unlikely that only her records varied in this way - my experience suggests that others were equally variable. So much for Columbia's standard."

 I believe the Columbia 4014 was speed 80, not 78.

 Columbia had the rights to both recordings - the acoustic recording of 1922 was on Regal G 7816, which was Columbia's cheap label, and the 1926 electric on Columbia 4014.
What's probably confusing people is that this issue is in the F.B. series. The numeric 10" catalogue number series that Columbia 4014 was issued in ended in 1930, so this disc is just a re-issue of 4014 in the available catalogue series of the time.

 Although when His Master's Voice and Columbia's Holding Companies (re) merged to form effectively EMI, and Regal and Zonophone being their 'Budget' labels (see elsewhere on worlds and net for who was who), the differing Matrix Number here suggests, as per Scrough's 6th Feb 2013 comment, that this is the 1926? electrically recorded version.

 Probably not as the successor to Regal was Regal Zonophone and I would presume that Columbia would not have the rights to that recording. Also with advances in recording technology I would expect it to be redone. If I can I'll dig out both copies and listen to them back to back.

 Is this A-side the same recording as G 7816?

 Laughter And Lemons is less well-known than Laughing Policeman but the joke persists down the decades

 And longer , reproduced (A Side at least) on Columbia EP (unfortunately probably 're-mastered' from a 78 as the amount of background noise on my EP was quite bad) -unless that too had been played many times over.

 This must have remained on catalogue for at least 20 years after its original release in 1926.
