Yes, that is the record I was talking about, that its location would be 
to noisy now.  Most of the bird records were recorded in Karl Reich's 
Avery in Bremen, Germany, but this one was recorded in Beatrice 
Harrison's Garden, Oxford, England.  Nightingales -- Dawn In An Old 
World Garden, Victor 20968.  These records stayed in the catalog for a 
long time, and I think it was either this one or the Reich Nightingale 
record that was specified by Respighi for use in The Pines Of Rome.
