[78-L] Signatures on Columbia banner records

[David Lennick]

And Gieseking signed a couple of masters on a label that became part of 
Parlophone, I believe..so the signatures may have survived into the American 
Decca pressings.

I'm trying to remember who signed a wax so enthusiastically that he cut into 
the grooves. They issued it anyway.

Inigo's other Holy Grail, the Supervia set, isn't hard to find either, on 
Parlophone or US Decca. My criterion is..if I can find it, anybody can find it.

>> Since you brought this up I've been wondering about this for a while.  What is the significance of these banner records from Columbia that were signed in the wax?  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.
