Thanks for dialing that in better for me!

At yet another Alabama antiques mall today, I picked up a decent stack of 78's, including Perfect 13049 'Long Chain Charlie Blues/Brown's Ferry Blues' by Bill Cox; and Columbia 1191-D 'In My Dreams (I'm Jealous of You)/Weary Stomp' by Curtis Mosby & His Dixieland Blue Blowers.

I also picked up an unusual variant of the Harvard label (single-sided), below:
