Rigoletto sung as a tenor solo by Caruso on one side and Melba singing "Songs My Mother Taught Me" on the other.  It claims that
the Caruso has never been released before and has not appeared in any Caruso discography.  In fact both sides had never been
issued before.  It has the notice "Licensed for private use and not assignable".  It was issued in 1973 as a Private Pressing for
the Benefit of The Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound.  I realize the world has turned many times since 1973 and much more is now
available.  Have I got a rare treasure  worth millions or do thousands of copies of this disc abound.
