[78-L] Mercury 25073 source/date/performer?

[Thomas Stern]

Thanks to all  -
  I must be asleep this morning not to have remembered the Keynote
connection - I had a vague memory
or the titles as being on 78, but my lapse permits delving into the MERCURY
78/LP releases -
  Looking at my Keynote listing, I have the release numbers as K-560 through
K-562 in album 139 NEW SONGS OF PALESTINE.
  Are the 1068-1070 numbers the MERCURY 78rpm catalog numbers?  Did Mercury
have their own album number,
or use the Keynote album number, title?
  I'd like to see one of the Mercury labels, if someone has a scan
available.
  I'd also be interested in what other Mercury lp's came from NON-JAZZ
Keynote.  I'm aware of these:
    MG 20007  Richard Dyer-Bennett/Tom Glazer - Olden Ballads
    MG 20008  Tony Kraber/Earl Robinson - The Old Chisholm Trail
    (and now MG 25073).
  Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas.

Okay, it was a Mercury 78 set as well..note the K in the prefixes,
indicating
Keynote as a source. My set may also be on Mercury, I haven't checked..they
were one and the same company by 1947. The first "Mercury Classics" 78s had
black Keynote labels and were pressed on Mercury type compound.
