Re: [ARSCLIST] 1a.Ruth Rubin 78rpm recordings 1b.Oriole Records

[Thomas Stern <sternth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Roger,
 Spottswood only goes up to 1942, unless there has been another set 
published which I haven't seen?
 I find the Freedman online catalog both wonderful and frustrating.  
The mechanical details of the
recordings do not seem to be consistently included, such as the matrix 
numbers for the Stinson records,
or what media the five items listed for Ruth Rubin R007(f)1-5  "Yiddish 
Folksongs Ruth Rubin (5")" - I guess
they may be reel to reel tapes, but no information is given (that I see) 
about the media, nor about the origin
or their content (i.e. are they dubs of 78s, lp's, recitals, recorded 
for the archive, et.al......).
 I did find a reference to Oriole in  "The Canadian Encyclopedia". They 
state a series of 78rpm records
starting in 1945.  They indicate that an LP album of children's songs, 
with acc. by Pete Seeger were
issued by Oriole in 1954 - this may be the same as the Folkways album.
 Any further information would be appreciated.
 Best wishes, Thomas.
