>>> I found a 78 with a WOR FEATURE label, # 1006-A&  B by the Adiran Rollini Trio with Sylvia Barry vocals, being recorded at WOR Recording Studios in New York c.1944. WOR was and is a radio station in New York and apparently recorded songs in their studio and made their own records. There's a lot of info about the radio station, but there doesn't seem to be much info about these records. Any way to find out how many were released on the WOR label? Whether any of their recordings were released on major record labels? Time frame for their label?
