Re: [ARSCLIST] Discographic question "Collector's Grab Bag"
Sounds lile it was bought at Music Masters which specialized in operatic
bootlegs, from-the-audience tapes of Broadway shows, etc.

I have a copy of that thing. I don't know who issued it, but I bought it
new in New York City around 1970. I've forgotten the name of the store, but
I believe it was located on 42nd Street. The store had probably been there
for many years before that, because I found several new copies of
small-label LPs that had been out of print since the early 1960s on the
same visit.
The LP came in a white sleeve, with a single sheet of paper listing the
tracks. I have to believe that it was probably created by a New York-area
opera bootlegger.

No doubt one of you will be able to tell me a bit about the source of a
disc I recently encountered: "A Collector's Grab Bag." The contents
listing includes things like: Three Little Maids, sung by Joan Sutherland,
Ella Fitzgerald and Diana Shore; Jan Peerce & Bob Merrill singing
Winchester Cathedral...etc. Does anyone know who issued this disc?
