Omigawd..another classical music scandal....for what it's worth, I have two 
copies of A-9, Beethoven Scottish Songs by Richard Dyer-Bennet. One is #977 and 
the other is .. #1215. And RDB's signatures are identical.

I found a copy of Ray Lev playing Brahms Sonata in C, it is number 725 of 2000.  Looking further through my shelves, I found a copy of Ray Lev playing Schubert's Sonata in C and, to my amazement, found that this is also number 725 of 2000.  My curiosity piqued, I searched for some more albums and found William Schuman's Symphony for Strings conducted by Edgar Schenkman, (Peter's father if anyone knows Peter Schenkman), and it was number 1215 of 2000.  Looking further, I found one more album from this series - Barber's Capricorn concerto and, well Land a Goshen it was also number 1215 of 2000.  I think the mathematical odds of this consistency are rather extreme.
