There were three versions of The Preacher and The Bear on Blue Amberols;
First version:Flat title end,no announcing.
Second version: Beveled end with announcing (taken from wax Amberol #18).
Third version:Beveled end, dubbed from Diamond Disc.

There are a few announced Blue Amberols. Search the board for more info.

The announced copy of Preacher and the Bear is "take 2", as evidenced by 2 dots ("..") after the word "Pat'd" on the rim.
