Re: [ARSCLIST] Mercury Olympians

As promised:

MG 50002 (KUBELIK: DVORAK "NEW WORLD") has 10118 on label (parentheses) and in 
the wax.

50003, I don't have.

50004 (DORATI, BORODIN 2/STRAVINSKY FIREBIRD) has 10123 in the land, not on the 
label.

50005 (DORATI,, BERLIOZ-RAVEL-DEBUSSY) has 10124 in the land, not on the label 
(it also has a label for 50004 on side 2).

50006 (KUBELIK, TCHAIKOVSKY 6) has .. er .. 50006. So they'd probably caught 
the situation by then.
