>> Edmond O'Brien's MY BELOVED, Mercury MG 25013, was originally recorded for..Majestic? c. 1947? I don't see it in the Majestic listings on Ty's site but I thought I'd seen the set on 78s. Good old Mercury, reissuing everything in sight in 1949 and never bothering to add composer credits, or in half the cases even to bother listing the titles on the jacket. I have one copy of this with a photo of O'Brien on the front, a reference to his being a Universal Motion Picture Star, and nothing but catalog listings on the back. And I have another copy in a fold-over paper sleeve with generic artwork, and with the titles listed (in the wrong order), and catalog listings on the back. (I've managed to identify all the poets btw.) dl _______________________________________________ 78-L mailing list 78-L at klickitat.78online.com http://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
