[78-L] Corwin-On A Note of Triumph was Non-Transcription OTR on 78 (was Decca Specialty Series (DAU-x))

[Thomas Stern]

Mark 56 (Garabedian) issued an alternate recording of
On A Note of Triumph, Was this a rehersal, repeat, or rebroadcast??
Don't know if that version, or the Columbia 78rpm set was included
in a Radio Spirits WWII set (which was available on CD, MP3, maybe tape).
Does anyone know if there were any differences in these versions ?
A while ago the remaining stock of Mark56 releases was being offered
for sale.  Anyone know what happened to them, and the "rights' to the
catalog.  They had some very interesting albums.
Thanks, Thomas.

There was a series issued in 1947 called "Top Ten", which for some reason
only
had 7 issues. 4-disc albums, mostly of sketches running 3 to 6 minutes (1
ran 9
and the Cantor album contained a complete story line). All were recorded for
these albums, not taken from broadcasts. Amos 'n' Andy, Jack Benny, Edgar
Bergan & Charlie McCarthy, Fibber McGee and Molly, Duffy's Tavern, Eddie
Cantor
and Burns & Allen. There was a "Breakfast In Hollywood" set which I believe
DID
use excerpts from broadcasts, there was a "Truth or Consequences" album on
Mercury, there were a couple of dramas like Archibald McLeish's "Air Raid"
and
Corwin's VE Day Salute "On A Note of Triumph" issued by Columbia, there was
"The Lonesome Train" on Decca, and Mike Biel will likely step in and add to
the
list.
