Re: [ARSCLIST] Music Library record label

[David Seubert <seubert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've seen both 78s and LPs by this company. 78s have maroon labels and 
are in brown albums. They were based in San Francisco. I saw a fourth 
copy of the Roger Nixon String Quartet album yesterday. Why does this 
one turn up so often? I also recently saw a set by LA composer Ellis 
Kohs that I hadn't seen before. Maybe they were the CRI of the early 
50s? Not to be overly cynical, but it seems to be faculty composers that 
needed a recording to get tenure.
