Toscanini's recording of Beethoven's Symphony #5 (Victor M 640) had a full 
color picture of Toscanini from Day 1, possibly on both front and back covers. 
Recorded February-March 1939, not sure of release date.

The Molly Picon album was recorded in October 1939 so it might be too late an 
issue for this argument.

I can't remember whether the Dwight Fiske album has one as well and it's too cold in the garage to go and check it.dlRodger Holtin wrote:> Back about 1979 or so, Miles Krueger wrote a book about "Show Boat" (correct title escapes me - published by Oxford University Press or somebody like that) and he discussed the original 1932 Brunswick album with its original artwork and compared it to the Columbia re-issue with Steinweiss artwork. While this is not primary source material, it is a credible, published reference, probably still available somewhere, and reinforces the concept we are trying to re-establish.> > Rodger> > > > For Best Results use Victor Needles.> > > > .> > --- On Mon, 12/28/09, fnarf at comcast.net  wrote:> > From: fnarf at comcast.net > Subject: Re: [78-L] Alex Steinweiss article> To: "78-L Mail List" <78-l at klickitat.78online.c

People saying "Steinweiss wasn't first" aren't any more reliable than people saying "Steinweiss was first" without some solid documentary proof. Without it, journalists and authors are right to ignore us.> > > > ----- Original Message -----> From: "Cary Ginell" > To: 78-l at klickitat.78online.com> Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 11:52:04 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific> Subject: Re: [78-L] Alex Steinweiss article> > > Liesl Bradner has asked me for permission to print my comments as a letter-to-the-editor, to be published in next Sunday's L.A.
