[78-L] Strauss: electric or acoustic

[David Lennick]

If this is listed by Claude Arnold, I sure can't find it. WERM lists it as 
Polydor 69854 but doesn't cross reference the Brunswick number. I'd say late 
acoustical..the joke among orchestral collectors is that matrix numbers with 
the "be" suffix are "barely electrical" (and yours is bm).

Chris?
