Re: [ARSCLIST] Schoor? Schorr?

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You're right, the labels say Vienna..the seller said Germany. Still, Schorr 
sang at the Met from 1924 and wouldn't have wanted to spend too much time 
anywhere near the Nazis.

The discs might be interesting on other levels, but not worth $999. I wonder if 
they're gelatine-coated glass based? He says they aren't metal and also that 
one or two are stuck inside their sleeves. Too bad there's no close-up of a 
label identifying "Schoor" or "Schorr".
