[78-L] Fine Sound Inc. FS-900 series

[Thomas Stern]

I couldn't find any listing other than FS-905 which is currently on DL's auction.
Anyone know of any others???
Perhaps Tom Fine would shed some light on this series.

Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas.

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.
