Re: [ARSCLIST] Mercury MG10000 series listing or discography
From just such an album as I mentioned, which may have been used in Canada
only (Mercury LPs aren't identified as Canadian, even though there was a large
plant established here in 1949 which eventually became Quality). Note that
artists aren't listed in all cases.

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.

Hi All:
Does anyone have a listing or better yet a discography of the Mercury
MG10000 series, the first LP's? I couldn't find anything of much use
online, just a few snippets here and there. Surprisingly, none of the
LPs I have list any other titles on the back cover and this was
pre-inner sleeves so no complete listing like started appearing for
the later MG50000 series once inner sleeves became the norm.
If someone has started such a list, I'll be happy to include the bits
and pieces I have in my own collection. There's also a few references
to some of these albums in John Hammond's autobiography (for instance
the recordings of Oistrakh and Shostakovich made in Prague in 1946 and
the Oistrahk/Khachaturian recording made in Russia, and some general
info about the Czech-captured German Telefunken recordings from WWII
era, and some references to the original recordings of Mitch Miller
playing oboe chamber music).
Anyway, a complete listing of these LPs would be most helpful.
