Re: [ARSCLIST] Mercury MG10000 series listing or discography

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Best place would be the back of one of the old albums, where they listed 
available recordings in lieu of liner notes (I'm wondering if this occurred 
more on the Canadian issues which used generic jackets with a die-cue hole at 
times). This will get the first few or dozen numbers in each series, if nothing 
else. Today is a busy day so I may not get to this until later.
