[78-L] Lang-Worth 8" transcriptions

[David Lennick]

It would have made sense for them to start numbering each series from 1. I have several hundred of these discs, but one random pile (not separated into categories) contains PC (Pop Concert Orchestra), SS (Salon and Light Music), OR (some violin solos but with organ accompaniment, hence OR). There are also yellow labels on many..white for ASCAP publications and yellow for non-ASCAP. Lang-Worth was founded in anticipation of the problems the radio industry was eventually going to have with ASCAP in the early 40s.

> The cat.nrs are preceded by a "prefix", which seems to indicate the music type.
> It appears there are at least 2 series, since cat.nr 70-A/B is known twice,
> with "prefix" CI (Collector's Items) and DS.
> Other descriptive prefixes are VoS (Vocals), IN (instr.), VGL/VGS (vocal group large/small ??), etc.
> The CI labels (blue with silver print) are different from the other labels (white with blue print).
> 
> Questions:
> Are there only 2 numerical series: general (with several prefixes) & CI ?
> What is the range of these series?
> After some time the prefix is DL for all(?) 8" issues.
> What is the exact meaning of these prefixes?
