Sorry for not replying to this one. I used to deal with the EMI archivist
as
well, years ago, when they'd reply by fax. Then they started charging ten
pounds per half hour for research, then they made themselves unavailable.
With
all due respect, I'm afraid instant answers from online sources are the
only
ones most of us can use these days. By the time I wrote a letter and
received a
response in the mail, the need for the information would have vanished
weeks
previously. And in this case, the question is a dead one.

David,did you know about the Coates recordings with the Pro Arte ? Not
seemed to have got your response on that but as I said EMI at Hyes are
usually excellent at allowing researchers to check up on details or even
writing the archivist should get a friendly reply.Suzanne Lewis was the
archivist a few years ago but I lost touch with her.Her name cropped up
in
Stuart Upton's Light music magazine in the late 1990's before he died
and
the mag folded but when I wrote her a few years ago,got no reply so
assume
there is a new archivist these days.
Bill Dean -Myers has found EMI very co-operative recently during his
research into Beltona and also Scotsrdings from 1888.
