[78-L] Marian Anderson - Artiphon/ Phonycord / Belvox / Davis / Masterpiece

[David Lennick]

One thing I remember (don't have the discs here to inspect) is that Masterpiece 
reversed the matrix numbers. And a few of the Davis sides appear to be master 
pressings. I don't know if the Phonycord has dubbed sides, but it's slightly 
smaller than ten-inch (and the quality is excellent on it). Blue vinyl. I've 
only seen one Belvox.
