Re: [ARSCLIST] More supermarket records, more mysteries



It isn't going to unmask the masked in the classical field, no, but it does give surprising info about a number of these labels and the record clubs which somehow are linked to YPR, lots of history behind that label and other children's recordings of the period, who actually recorded the Benny Goodman concert, what the "interruptions" were on one of the Six Songs For Democracy, who was caught in bed by Olga Samaroff, stuff about YPR, CRG, Cub, Allegro Junior and more.

OK,but this book doesn't cover pseudonymous/anonymous classical records, does it ?Or does he have one in the works that does?

Speaking of children's records,what about the Cub label from the late 40s,that Woodie Guthrie recorded for ? I don't know anything about it.I don't think it was an Asch label,was it ?

Each with 16 records which you had to keep coming back and buying because one work would be continued on next week's disc, and each one eventually ending up in a binder. I have a half Webster set and a complete Standard set, and until I looked at both (in my lockup) I thought they were the same. Definitely not. The Webster set is obviously from Remingtons, but where did the Standard source come from? Vox? Vanguard? Concert Hall? Any source they could find? All remastered and pressed by RCA, by the way.

I suspect David Bonner will have the answer (and I suspect that it might be in his fabulous book about YPR, which has already surprised me on many other topics).
