>Does anyone have any idea why Camden, RCA Victor's budget label, used pseudonyms on most of its early LPs? The performances are by name orchestras, reissued from RCA Victor's back catalog, but are generally identified as by Warwick Symphony Orchestra, Festival Concert Orchestra, Sussex Symphony Orchestra, or some such, and with no conductor credit at all.

Obvious - if they offered the REAL names at the cheaper price, nobody would have bought the (identical) full-price product any more!
