YES!  What set number is it? 5? My info comes from their ads in American Music Lover, and photo covers of #1 and #2 are shown (with #3 listed)in Dec 1939 which is pre-Steinweiss.  From R&H's collection I only have images of Schirmer 4, 6, 8, and 9.  Except for the Suesse/Rearden # 8, the others at R&H  (#4 Carpenter String Quar, #6 Zimbalist String Quar, and #9 Faure Piano Quin) are plain lettered covers that I wonder if they are later copies of what might have originally been photo covers like I know 1, 2, 3, and 8 were.    (I also have my own copy of the Suesse which she autographed for me.) #7 is Hungarian Gypsy Airs and Dances, and I can use photos of it but it is advertised with the Suesse in May 1940 which is post-Steinweiss.  But those first 3 illustrated albums were issued before C-11 was even recorded.

Do you remember if the cover was different?  Is the autographed "page" a 
page or the inside cover?  I read somewhere that it might have had a 
slipcase.  What bugs me is that someone scribbled all over the first 
pocket of one of the two copies at R&H that it is an "variant version" 
but both copies are un-autographed and I see no difference in the 
discs.  Both had the same light green cover and silver lettered spine my 
copy has.   But the scribbling mentions disc numbers  69353-D  thru 
S69356-D but these discs are  50382-D thru  S50385!   Did the 
autographed set have gold labels (like I think you mentioned before) but 
HIGHER numbers?   Didn't you say you still had one of the gold label discs?

I have both of the Evans Sakespeare photo cover albums but need both 
Welles JC.  I only have M-325 in a 40s generic cover--which one do you 
have with a photo, C-10 or M-325?   I need C-10 in any form, and I see I 
also need  photos of the original cloth cover of C-6  Merchant of 
Venice.  I have photos of two versions of C-7 Twelfth Night in the 
original red cloth covers (one mistakenly shows the illustration of the 
Merchant label and prints the title as "12th Night"!)   I should have 
looked at my photos before posting last night.


A Decca list will follow in a little bit.   Anybody have any of the real 
colorful Columbia late-20s sleeves.  KURT -- If you are reading, I know 
you have one handing on your studio wall because we see it over Joe 
Salerno's shoulder in Leah's video.
