    RCA Discography Part 57 - By David Edwards, Mike Callahan, and Patrice Eyries. © 2018 by Mike Callahan RCA Camden Label Discography The RCA Camden label was started in 1953 as a budget label. It was named after Camden New Jersey which was the manufacturing and distribution center of RCA Victor records. Much of the material released by Camden were reissues of albums released by RCA Victor, usually with a few less songs. Initially the label was used for classical releases but soon started releasing popular, country and comedy albums. Albums released by Camden included ones released by RCA of Canada using the same numbering system. These RCA of Canada albums were only distributed in Canada and were not listed in the Schwann catalogs.

Faced with many oompeting and well-marked attractions, too many times the motorist will completely avoid Portland or will reach the bay wharves only after con­ siderable effort and inquiry. In a direct attack on this problem, the City has erected 30 directional signs indicating the route to the waterfront and wharves. Introductory signs have been set up on the major roads (US 1 from the south, Interstate 295 from the north, Brighton Avenue, etc.) at points near the city limits.

For Hanika and Tyrone, so that they will know and love the island too. For the ancestors, who supported us and brought us to this time and place, and who continue to sustain us. Most importantly, for the island, the land, the ocean, the rivers, the streams, the mountains, the valley, the rocks, the birds, the animals, the reptiles, the fish, the trees, the wind, and the everlasting, ever-patience of her essence. Abstract Undertaken on Tokunoshima, an island colonized by Japan in the 17th century, this research speaks to the critical question of the loss of Indigenous languages and the resultant loss of ethnic pluralism.
