Never wade in over your head and then argue!

Yes, I'm not so sure about that Universal owns Westminster. Roger, can you list some CD titles that definitely come from old Westminster masters? Thanks!

Richard Rodzinski said that a number of his father's recordings had come out on CD but only in Japan, and not for long.

Aren't we all....

These may be among the few recordings priced the same on LP or tape (per reviews in High Fidelity, 1956). $7.50 for an LP running thirty minutes was pretty hefty at that time.

I came across a Westminster Laboratory Series LP today whose packaging was intact, the zipper worked (didn't jam at the bottom), and the disc inside the plastic sleeve was in near mint condition. Usually these things show up destroyed, especially since folks would get fed up with the thick plastic outer container and get rid of it, then find that the "album" was just a foldover with no place to protect the disc. Even the pamphlet was there. (W-LAB 7011, Petrushka, if anyone cares.)
