[78-L] RCA 16" Electrical Transcriptions MGM movies

[Sammy Jones]

I'll echo "great find," too.  I have an Andy Hardy air trailer (can't 
remember which film right now).

Here's one on eBay for a film version of Tom Sawyer:

And speaking of film-related 16-inchers...I finally did my duty and donated 
a bit to Ron Hutchinson's excellent Vitaphone Project.  Got a few gift CDs 
in the mail.  One contains the prelude for a 1928 film called Warming Up. 
It features Billy Murray in a baseball-themed medley.  The other CD is the 
complete set of soundtrack discs to Fanny Brice's feature, "My Man."  Great 
stuff.  Here's the latest Vitaphone News if anyone's interested in reading 
more:
