[78-L] Classical 12 inch 78 albums

[Dan Van Landingham]

I once owned a Victor 12 inch of the Bach-Gounod arrangement of "Ave Maria" with 
Schubert's "Ave
Maria" on the reverse.As I recall,the orchestra was a Victor studio group called 
"Victor Salon Orchestra"
and the conductor on that particular recording date was Rosario Bourdon.The 
particular pressing I had
dated from between 1938-41 as it was issued on Victor's popular series which was 
in the 3000s.This 

recording had to have dated from somewhere in the mid to late '20s as I had a 
few other Victors that 

had "Victor Talking Machine Company" in the familiar scroll pattern.I am 
thinking of emailing Bill McL-
oughlin at WFMT as he once did a programme on the Bach transcriptions by 
Stokowsky on his "Explo-
ring Music" series some months ago.I would love to find another copy of it as it 
was one of my favourite
recordings.

I only want to keep about a third of the classical 78rpm sets & classical single 

78's I got from Kurt all those years ago. The rest I should sell off but they 
are not hurting anything sitting on the shelves so thats where they have been 
since I bought them. Yes it's all been played at least once & the stuff I liked 
gets played as I make time for them along with all the other 78's, 45's & LP's 
here. I played 4 multi record 78 sets yesterday with all those manual side 
changes. It was fun.....

Of course shipping quadruples the cost....!

Don, do I even want to know what's in here? Any white label issues? I'm trying 
to DE-collect album sets these days....
