[78-L] Billboard June 5/48

[David Lennick]

Scroll down and read the best selling classical titles..and now you know why 
the same stuff constantly turns up in attics, basements and Sally Ann stores. 
Jalousie by the Boston Pops (an 11 year old release..recorded 1935 but held 
back till '37), Bluebird of Sappiness, 3 versions of the Sabre Dance, Chopin's 
Polonaise mangled by Iturbi, Clear de Saloon by the same artist etc. Not one 
single symphony or concerto.
