Thanks Han!

Marlowe's DECCA and MUSICRAFT 78's are listed in 78discography, however the
listings details for works on each side do not appear complete based on other 
catalog entries listing the works in the set(s)...

Can anyone check quickly if 10" LP MGM E 538 (Rameau and Couperin) is a new recording c.1951 or reissue of MUSICRAFT 84
and can you provide a track listing?  THANKS!

Best wishes, Thomas.

General label mxs:
R-2632-35 Morton 30 Jan 1940
R-2668-71 Willie The Lion Smith 17 Feb 1940
R-2760-65 Sylvia Marlowe - pres. recorded March 1940
R-2796-99 Joe Marsala 4 April 1940.

She is also on an AFRS transcription with Harry James (apparently on youtube).

I have never seen a GSC 500 series label.
Why has the Bost Album an ES prefix ? Educational ?

>>> Seems to me the General set is from 1940. The sets of Handel Flute Sonatas and 
one other (Bach) she did with Julius Baker may have been assigned 78 numbers 
(or just recorded pre-LP) but were issued only on lps, no? Decca Books not 
handy at the moment. 18th Century Barrelhouse/Cuckoo Cuckoo was issued on 
American and Canadian Decca..delightful record.
