[78-L] Pre-1010 German Grammophon Opera Sets A-F

[Michael Biel]

Pardon the cross-postings, but I am looking for any collector or archive 
which might have any of the album sets which the German branch of 
Grammophon recorded and released between 1907 and 1909.  I briefly saw 
one of them, Set E Carmen, in a TV show and have a screen shot but would 
like better images.  It shows silver lettering and an illustration with 
Carmen's dress colored a vivid red.  I would like to be able to get 
photographs of the covers and album spines of these albums.  Here is the 
list from page 1252 of Alan Kelly's German HMV discography.

Set A  Die Fladermaus  (Johan Strauss)
Set B  Die lustige Witwe  (Franz Lehar)
Set C  Ein Walzertraum  (Oscar Straus)
Set D  Faust  (Charles Gounod)
Set E  Carmen  (Georges Bizet)
Set F  Der Zigeunerbaron  (Johan Strauss)

I am likewise interested in any other illustrated album covers from this 
period and the teens.  I have info and images of the English HMV albums 
of Gilbert and Sullivan and Wagner from the late teens, but still need 
the images of the several other operettas they issued this way.

Thanks for any help or leads you might be able send.
