I have paid BEEG bucks on a few occasions (or persuaded the label to foot
the cost) for records I needed in compilations. Such as..ETHEL MERMAN: I
GOTTA RIGHT TO SING THE BLUES/SATAN'S LI'L LAMB ($50)VICTOR CONCERT
ORCHESTRA: TWO AMERICAN SKETCHES/SONG OF THE BAYOU, signed by composers,
white label ($50)FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS: VALSE CARESSANTE ($50) not on the
RCA LP or CD, not listed in Melotone's brochure, possibly 4 known
copiesENRIQUE FERNANDEZ ARBOS/MADRID SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: EL ALBAICIN
(Spanish Columbia 78, missing from US issues of "Iberia", impossible to
find) ($50)And I've traded with Kurt for much higher values on items loike
the Rudolph Valentino and Laurel & Hardy records.dlOn 1/11/2011 11:53 PM,
