Thanks for the heads-up on the DG issue - I know the MCA set, but missed the DG - good to know about the remastered version and extra track.
There seem to be lots of 10 & 12 inch LP and EP re-releases of the DECCA Heifetz recordings, previously issued on 78s (set A-385, DA-454, A-592, others???)
Anyone have details of a multi-disc multi-volume HEIFETZ COLLECTION issued
on LP by RCA in the 1970's ??? How complete was it - or did it just attempt to be a retrospective?
Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas.

Hi, Jon,
I just found this email from you to the ARSC list in my Spam folder. Shame
