Jols,

Thank you kindly for your assistance.  Good thinking to use the 45 reissue matrix number.

Best,
Will

Dear Will

The later 45rpm release [see https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__frontera.library.ucla.edu_recordings_en-2Dmi-2Dviejo-2Dsan-2Djuan-2D15&d=DwIFaQ&c=E2nBno7hEddFhl23N5nD1Q&r=0HnTS5hCIFf-yuHsTjNEfg&m=IGFHcLB0qsn-T5ur7K0RuAsKrTmcNwttpCpoKaNvTEM&s=NnbuLNF6Kt56e_VKDcnu9oze0opBpRf298dMJ9tl1XE&e= ] has the matrix D6XW-2246, I presume RCA Victor carried over the matrix and allocated a new take number for the dubbing.

D =4
6 =6
X = Foreign - Recorded outside U.S.A
W = 7" - 45 RPM - Fine

I think the 78 matrix may therefore have been D6XB-2246 with the B = 10" 

D6XB-2210 was recorded on 5/23/46
D6XB-2314 was recorded on 6/20/46 

So recorded sometime at the end of May beginning of June 1946 I would think. Being in UK I don't have ready access to any files that could get any closer than that.

Best

Jols
