[78-L] Largest 78rpm "set" of records ?

[Royal Pemberton]

I only remember it was (to me) a HUGE number, but how many records were in
the set of the complete Bayreuth Festival from 1951?  EMI recorded it.  (I
read about it a long time ago in Peter Martland's book on EMI, but I can't
recall the details.)
