[78-L] NYC record store labels - Schirmer, Rabson's Music Box, Gramophone Shop, LMS, others?

[Mike Harkin]

I _think_ the GS were importers of Anthologie Sonore rather than issuers could be wrong, uff cuss, wouldn't be at all surprised.  On their GS Cele-
brities they put out several treasurable albums:  Maggie Teyte in French song [also instrumental in getting her Debussy album w/Cortot issued.
Sylvia Marlowe doing Purcell suites.  Finn Videro, a couple of sets of
early organ music on a baroque organ in Denmark.  Italian songs by Gabriella Gatti. Songs of Robt Franz et al by Lori Lail.  Mouthwatering!!!!
What a place it must have been!!!!
