The recording date is indicated as 1938, long after the death of the Caruso we're familiar with.  I assume it's genuine, (even though the letter prefix to the number is "BS".  The record shown is a special issue but did this new Caruso ever record on standard Victor records?  The label doesn't even indicate whether he is a tenor or a baritone, although if I knew my operatic roles better, that would tell me.

Nothing about recording though.
