I don't know if I enquired about this before but if I did, it was a while ago.

I have a box of soft-cut 78s which look like they may never have been played.  It is a piece by Lucas Foss called "Song of Songs", commisioned for and sung by Ellabelle Davis with the Boston Symphony conducted by Koussevitzky.  It was recorded on Feb 11 or Nov 3, 1947, (typed 3-11-47).

Does anyone know if this was commercially released or was it just a private recording of a concert or whatever?
