My thoughts exactly!  (And we've already made a nice little list of other
sources that we would use.)

I would love to learn more about the Myers Record Review supplements that
Steven Smolian made mention of.  I was able to locate an online version of
the 1956 publication on www.questia.com:

http://www.questia.com/library/book/record-ratings-the-music-library-associa
tions-index-of-record-reviews-by-richard-s-hill-kurtz-myers.jsp

I have not had any luck finding any of the supplements (of which Steven
Smolian referred to).  Could/would someone elaborate on what the supplements
are made of?  Are they presented in the same format as the 1956 publication?
Similar in size?  Number of pages?  Date ranges addressed?
