> Yes, that's the name on the labels.  Vocal Chorus by the "Rondoliers" 
> which is a male quartet.  1940's 10-inch shellac with a label that has 
> in the center a gift card and envelope.  One side is Happy Birthday 
> Sister, with a space at the bottom of the "card" to fill in your name 
> "from__________".  The other side is Auld Lang Syne.  Yes the birthday 
> song is our old favorite in a very fancy society orchestration, no 
> composer credits.

> The label name is Avalon, and underneath it in small letters it says
