Re: [ARSCLIST] Waldorf - 78 & LP

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have Waldorf 78s..always assumed they were part of the same company, which if 
I'm not mistaken was part of Grand Award. Aside from some 3-track-per-side 78s, 
I have one that has EIGHT tracks per side! Yes, it's a 78. ROCK 'N' ROLL 
JAMBOREE, Waldorf Record Corp, BU-3..assorted covers mostly by Artie Malvin and 
Enoch Light. Seems to me I have another one that uses at least one Paul 
Whiteman track, which they lifted from a Grand Award LP..might also have one or 
two of the Wally Cox sides he did for them.

As an aside, Grand Award inherited the Pilotone label and reissued the two 
Erich Leinsdorf albums (including the Deems Taylor commentaries). I've never 
found one of these reissues in playable condition.

The whole Grand Award operation was absorbed by ABC Paramount in 1959, per Gart.
