[78-L] Max Morath - early recordings

[Thomas Stern]

additions/corrections please!  [listing is at end of post]

The first 10-inch GOLD CAMP Lp has a 5/51 date in the wax - Max Morath
has given a 1954 date. Can anyone resolve this ???  (perhaps I'm reading it
wrong,

it was inscribed wrong ???  The 1954 date seems right.)

Does anyone have the compilation "Moochers, Gold Diggers and Cattle
Rustlers" on the SAN FRANCISCO label ???

In the liner notes to the first album, Sprague states that Max Morath was
making records in Texas - can anyone shed light on this ??? 

After these early recordings, Max Morath went on to record for
EPIC, VANGUARD (many albums), and lots of other labels. 

Max Morath did a number of memorably superb series on WWI songs and
Ragtime for NET/PBS - can someone
provide documentation of those programs ???

and for his early work on TV ???

THANKS!
Best wishes, Thomas.
