[78-L] Continental 78rpm - classical

Mon Jul 1 16:45:54 PDT 2013

The real stinkers from Gabor are PONTIAC. And oddly enough, some of those have 
turned up on Canadian pressings. Quality imported the other labels..why they 
would press the cheapest of them up here is beyond me. Also amazing that Gabor 
would issue the same material on $2 and $6 labels practically simultaneously 
(Masterseal was once a high end label, pressed by RCA, with padded gatefold 
jackets which scratched the records because they were too tight and there were 
no inner sleeves).

> Seems to have been fairly legit business dealings. Gabor leased some of Obie's stuff in the mid-1940's. 3 Suns appeared on Gabor's Broadway label in '48. Early Plymouth albums were all leased from somewhere, I haven't waded into that swampland, and Gabor did some pressing for Oberstein. Just a couple of ol' cross-pressers...
