[78-L] JAY records (1940's - 10inch LPs)

[Thomas Stern]

  A follow-up on previous inquiry:

  I've obtained a copy of JAY 3011 RUTH ETTING SINGS AGAIN, with a jacket.  This is the album suppressed by Columbia.
  The jacket contains, in addition to notes by "Manuel Tarshish", a list of the JAY releases:

2001  W.C.Fields - Temperance lecture, etc.
3001  MABEL LUCE - Latin American Folk Songs
3002  JOHN McCORMACK - Irish Songs
3003  NORMAN McKAYE - Robert Burns Scotch Ballads
3004  EDUCATIONAL - Great Music for All Ages
4005  INTERNATIONAL POLKA FAVORITES
3006  THE ORIGINAL MEMPHIS FIVE
3007  JOHN McCORMACK - Sings Love Songs
3008  THE BEST OF DJANGO REINHARDT
3009  TALBOT BROTHERS - Calypsos and Other Favorites
3010  ETHEL WATERS - Singing Her Best

  Interesting range of material!!!

  Also answers the question of whether there was a 3001.
  Note: the POLKA album is listed as 4005 (not MY typo) in the 3000 sequence - so assume there is NOT a 3005 ????

  Any insights on the catalog numbering?  Strange to have a "2000" series (1 record), then have a "4000" item within the 3000
series....

Here are the other albums previously noted:

3012  Concert Recital of Django Reinhardt    1954
3013  Gwilym Williams sings Welsh folk songs

  Anyone have any other additions, updates, corrections????

  Anyone have any other albums with release list, or catalogs, adverts, schwann et.al. listings??
  Thanks!

Best wishes,  Thomas.
