[Han Enderman]

Thomas,
The correct mx on label & in wax for side 8 is TNY1015AS.
And correct title for 7 is Go Down, Moses with a comma.

>>>  Carl Sandburg COWBOY SONGS AND NEGRO SPIRITUALS  DECCA A-356  4-10" 78rpm

  Looking for RECORDING DATE, and information for any unissued 
masters for these sessions.  
  What is the TNY series ???  (my first time seeing it)...
  What is the meaning of the letters following the mx (A AA SAA etc)?

THANKS!
Best wishes, Thomas.

TNY stands for (I think) "transcription New York"..correct me if I'm wrong. I 
see it on Standards and possibly LangWorths. The Decca Books list this set as 
having been recorded in New York sometime in 1943 and having Decca master 
numbers assigned June 3/43.

AA usually means a second lathe used for the recording. No idea what the S means.
