[78-L] Started buying 78's

[Ron L'Herault]

Would that shop have been on Huntington Ave. in Boston,  251 maybe?     Over
the week end I saw a record sleeve with a sticker/stamp for a record shop at
that address.

Began with the "World's Greatest Music" from the NY Post sometime prior to
WW2.
Real record stores? 1942 - Boston Music Company with listening booths in the
back, also a little hole in the wall around the corner from Symphony Hall
where I got a few blue shellac Columbias, a store near the Federal Bldg and
then the dumping of Decca's
25,000 series classical line, probably at Jordan Marsh.
Three year hiatus for a "tour" of Europe via Ft Bragg during which time the
family moved to North NJ.
Elaine Music Shop was probably my most frequented store and the Columbia U
book store gave a 20% discount. I think Sam Goody was already in business on
9th Ave. Then I spent a couple of years as Soria's shipping clerk when LP's
were introduced. Not sure, but I think Cetra and VOX were the first indies
to issue LP's, mastered and pressed by Columbia, joined by Mercury which did
its own processing.

re: the Reiner/Stevens Carmen; the French text at the beginning of Act 4 was
rewritten to fit Tyrone Guthrie's staging which moved the action from
outside the bull ring to Escamillio's suite at the Seville Hilton.
