[Glenn Longwell]

I've also seen the signatures on Fonotipias.

Those Casals records aren't hard to find at all..I've run across them for 
years. Weber and Fields also signed their records. I think Felix Weingartner 
signed some as well..probably Josef Hofmann..has anyone ever noted how many 
signed waxes there are? The practice wasn't confined to Banner Label discs.

The last side of Stravinsky's Jeu de Cartes is also signed (Telefunken). That 
meant they couldn't add a run-out when they re-pressed it in automatic sequence.

Were they a particular date range? Promotion?  I passed up several of these over the weekend - from the same place that netted me the Trillblow records among a number of other goodies.  I think I even have one of the Casals.
