[78-L] Album Images Needed (1) Columbia, G.Schirmer

[David Lennick]

I have M-325 with a picture cover, Merchant of Venice and 12th Night with cloth 
covers (only later covers for JC and Macbeth). I am pretty sure that the 
autographed Air Raid had blue labels and a green cover, but yes I do have one 
disc with a gold label, 69353D. The Limited Edition was C-5 copy 147 and the 
discs were 69353/6D. The February 1940 catalog lists C-4, 50382/5, price $4.00. 
It also lists the C- albums 1-10 but shows nothing for C-5!

If you're going to ask for Musicraft, ask before I start packing (Leadbelly, 
Josh White, The Revuers).

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.
