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 Steven Smolian wrote: > Collectors Guild was operated by the late Ben Stambler.
