[78-L] Musicraft was Crown and Sutton LPs

In the mid-late 1960's, much of the MUSICRAFT catalog was licensed to many "99cent" labels
by OLIBIN, Inc., which was owned by OLIVER SABIN, who was at one time President, and held other
positions in the MUSICRAFT company.
To the best of my knowledge, ALL the transfers were made from shellac.
Some time later Albert Marx revived the Musicraft label for LP and later CD reissues of
the catalog. I do not know if any masters were ever located. After the bankruptcy of Musicraft,
some material was released by MGM who presumable had access to metal parts and other source material.
It is a theory that some recordings made for Musicraft during it's last days were not among the
holdings transferred to various other companies, but were retained by the A&R people who supervised
the session. For example, there was a circa 1948 Carl Sandburg session which may have been the
source for the Lyrichord release, and many years later, some Leadbelly recordings done by Paul Puner
were released as a "bonus" CD in an OMEGA(Vanguard) set of WEAVERS recordings.
Can anyone confirm or refute any of this??
Best wishes, Thomas.
