[78-L] New 78 rpm re-issues - is there anything else but opera?

[David Lennick]

Some time in the 90s, new vinyl pressings were made of instrumental classical 
recordings from the EMI vaults. I'm thinking there was only one brief series of 
single discs by Bela Bartok, Elgar conducting, and a few others..my brain 
refuses to dredge up the name of the label, which still does a lot of 
historical reissuing on CD. And I think Historic Masters was considering doing 
jazz at one point but I don't know if anything came of the idea.
