[78-L] John Secrist - Scala 825 - Caruso

[Leroy Barco]

Can anyone enlighten me on this collector or this record?

The weight of this record is almost like a 78. Really heavy.

The liner notes report all the selections are transcribed from originals in
the collection of John Secrist.
There are three Pathé selections copied from AICC cylinders, 84004, 84006,
84007.
The rest are from Light Blue Label International Zonophones, 1550, 1551,
1552, 1553, 1554, 1555, 1556.
All recorded 1902 or before.

I’m guessing the originals are quite pricey.
