Below is a summary of the Roland Hayes recordings.
  Seems like the Smithsonian or Pelican were the most likely candidates....perhaps there
is a release we have overlooked.
  Steve Fassett seems to have been closely involved with the modern Hayes recordings, having
been responsible for getting Hayes to record for Vanguard, and having made other recordings - where are
his master tapes now????
  Was he connected to Telavix (which recorded the ANGEL MO' 78s, and the A440/HERITAGE LP) ???
I am very eager to know more about the proposed 3-record project.
  The summary below is barebones brief - the full details will be posted to 78L and ARSC lists when
some of the remaining questions are resolved.
  If anyone knows of any recordings we have missed, please provide details.
  Also needed:  discographic details for the Smithsonian CD, scan of notes for the Pelican LP.
  Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas.

Hi, Thomas,

Possibly the Pelican but I doubt it.  The borrowed a bunch of my own 78s and 
LPs but got embroiled in some legal matters, the details of which I never 
knew.  I do reclall that, whatever came out, it had notes by Phil.
