Well, the disc I was inquiring about is part of the Stambler Collection 
in the R&H Archives at NYPL, so this all makes more sense now. 
Unfortunately, the detailed register that probably came with the 
collection gives zero information about the content. It may be as I 
assumed; it is a test pressing of some unissued material, but I have no 
information to confirm this. The register gives only the label and 
catalog number. What I need is for someone with a copy of this record to 
come for to confirm that it was released and and what is on it.

I think we are going in circles at this point; someone help me off the 
merry-go-round.

Thanks,

Peter Hirsch
