There is nothing - I repeat, NOTHING - on this label that has not been stolen from legitimate reissues, so it is extremely unlikely these are "first issues", probably not even on CD format, as transferring LPs is extra work that the crooks at Membran usually want to avoid. Two small Berlin reissue producers who worked decently from original 78s have been driven into bankruptcy by Membran, so the less said about them the better maybe. I trust that you didn't know these facts, Steve, or you wouldn't have written such a positive review.
