Thought I might have found some when clearing my parents' house a few months
ago..not in the box where I put all sorts of other record catalogues, release
sheets etc. We subscribed to MTW in 1954 (I still have the Strauss
Waltzes/Bizet L'Arlesienne Suite) but I'm not seeing any paper as yet. We
didn't get too many of the releases ..most that I've found have been
second-hand or when tons of them were on sale at Sam The Record Man around
1961 > for 69 cents each.
Incidentally, I've also been going through old issues of High Fidelity (same
basement) and the September 1956 Music Makers column notes that "In midsummer,
[Concert Hall] and its affiliated mail-order clubs [were] bought out by the
Crowell-Collier Publishing Company; future plans, as a result, have been
somewhat dislocated. Until the change of ownership, Concert Hall's chief fall
program [centers] on its new series of binaural tape recordings."
The thing is, there MUST have been a publication of some sort which duly
announced newly-issued Canadian microgroove items... a sort of "Schwann's
North," as it were...?!
