[78-L] Collectors Record Shop NY

[Thomas Stern]

a little digging turned up some additional information:
Collectors Record Shop was in business and started issuing records
in the late 30's (NY Times May 1 1938)
CRS 2 was noted in AMERICAN MUSIC LOVER 1939, Sarah Bernhardt, from Edison 35013.
BILLBOARD 26JAN1957 notes the first 8 issued on FAMOUS RECORDS OF THE PAST FRP,
10 and 12 inch LP's.
NY TIMES SEP 30 1962 notes Caidin contributed some recordings to
the INSTITUTE OF SOUND (Richard Striker, Dr.A.F.R.Lawrence, Richard L Alderson).
- their mission was to collect and make available for listening rare recordings including live material.  They had a subscription
plan which gave one the right to a specified
number of hours of listening time.
Anyone know what became of that organization?

Thanks!  Best wishes, Thomas.

ARLD lists February 1946 for CRS (Collectors Record Shop) at 825 Seventh
Avenue, and then CRS Historical Records at 2060 First Avenue (NY) in January
1949. An early CRS issue was the Lillian Russell disc which Columbia dubbed and
pressed in 1943 (CRS 8). Yellow label. All others I've seen have blue labels
and some are vinyl, like the Rudolph Valentino which starts after the spoken
reference to Brunswick. See Billboard article from July 1946:

A Toscanini rehearsal with the maestro yelling is on one disc, and an
incredibly unfunny disc by someone who must have been Jack L. Caidin's brother
in law or something is another (so bad I got rid of it fast). I have a few LPs
issued by Caidin in the fifties as well.
