Re: [ARSCLIST] Discographic question "Collector's Grab Bag"



I bought my copy on Fifth Avenue (?) in the early 70s..Record Hunter, possibly? (I just typed Record Hunger. No idea why.)

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?
