His Master's Voice - Swing Music 19xx Series - numbering

	Stephen Harris Member since Mar 2021 193 Points	Does anyone know the detail of how the numbering works for Swing Music series? It seems in general that the numbers are incremented irrespective of release year. However, I have examples of the same numbers being used in different years, e.g. Swing Music 1942 Series - No. 527 / 528 https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/b9291 Swing Music 1943 Series - No. 527 / 528 https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/b9334 The numbering obviously doesn't go back to zero each year, so is this just an error? I'd be interested to understand more.
