mention..


The Alec Wilder seems to have been distributed privately. I found it in
Rochester (well, where else!) along with a number of other Alec Wilder items,
with a "from the collection of" note.

The Barbara Cook specifies 45/45 but it had to be originally issued in mono,
since the front slick has a "stereo" paste-on. The back cover refers to stereo
and even who recorded it (Jerry Newman, I think).

I have one odd Continental, produced for CJAD in Montreal..maybe they
customized it for whatever radio station ordered it. Don't have it handy..other
Continentals I recall are an Ethel Waters (same stuff as on Remington and
Plymouth) and a Jan Kiepura-Martha Eggerth lp.
