[78-L] Pre-1910 German Grammophon Opera Sets A-F

[DanKj]

  That list of albums made me drool a little.   I have some random parts of 
PATHE operas (Faust, Romeo & Juliet, maybe Carmen) , which sound 
fantastically well recorded.  Did Pathe also make albums for their sets, or 
were the records sold individually?   An album of the complete Carmen on 14" 
discs would've been quite something to haul home on the trolley car.
