[78-L] New York Gramophone Society - questions

[Thomas Stern]

1. Would someone provide a brief (or not so brief) history of the NEW YORK
GRAMOPHONE SOCIETY  ??

  I've googled, and found various bits of information:

 started mid-1950's   

  board of governors:  including John Secrist, Bert Annenberg, John
Christie, Robert Nathan, and Ely Winer

  headed by Albert Wolf and Ely C. Winer

  ended about 1969 with death of Albert Wolf ??

 

2. Recordings

    Issued by NYGS - LP L1 Alexander Kipnis Testamonial 1958

     The track-list/title of this lp appears to be the same as CLUB 99-55

     WERE THERE ANY OTHERS ISSUED BY NYGS ???

 

   "Produced for the New York Gramophone Society"

    COLLECTORS GUILD 611  Margaret Matzenauer-personal choice

    COLLECTORS GUILD 668  Maria Kurenko with Orchestra

       (is this from airchecks, 78's or newly recorded ?????)

      ANY OTHERS ???

   What was the relationship between NYGS and CLUB 99 and Collectors Guild
???

 

Thanks!

Best wishes, Thomas.
