[78-L] Leroy Anderson Question

[Michael Biel]

I think the liner notes in the two-fer CD in the late 80s explained that
all of his recordings were made with pick-up ensembles, and through the
years some of the recordings were made days or weeks after the pieces
were written.  They were sight-reading for the first time.  Some of them
sound like it if you listen carefully.

As far as I know, all Anderson's recordings were made in New York. Since
the 
Boston Pops recorded the same material much of the time, they could
hardly 
moonlight for Decca.
