>> That's interesting. I googled "Doo Dah Stakes" and found a list of 10 
>> inch
>> 78s. One of them was a Cyril Angles recording on the John Mystery label
>> JM0004 with "Doo-Dah Stakes" on one side and "Doo-Dah Cup" on the other.
>> Could this be your record?

>> Here's the link to that list:

>> At that website, click on "For Sale". Once you're at "For Sale", click on
>> No. 8 - Australiana. Next, scan the list for John Mystery's and look for
>> JM0004.
