What do you mean by "long box" since that is a CD term.  Do you mean a
"dowel box"?  Those are the boxes with pockets for the discs held with a
wood dowel which makes the box rectangular the size of a 78 book album. 
Or instead of the dowel a regular book binding with box edges on the
front cover instead of an open edge.  these are different from a slip
case box which are square if the the records are individual. They could
also be rectangular if the records are bound together in something that
slides out as a unit.  Columbia used all of these configurations.

Hi, Thomas,

Apparently you didn't see this:

My copy of the Schneider is in a long box.

As I recall, the Scheider set came as a set with a tape hinge- binding,
not
audiotape, also in a long box. Dunno if it was sold as singles as well,
but
wouldn't be surprised.

A while ago, I inquired about the Bruno Walter NY Philharmonic Beethoven
9th
Symphony reissue from 78's (M900) as SL056/SL156, then later issued with
newly recorded 4th movement SL186.

I've also been looking at the Kirkpatrick/Schneider Mozart Sonatas

set from MM-650, reissued in set SL 152 ML 4169/4170.



Packaging questions:



The 2 LP's in each of SL152, SL056 and SL156 each appear to be issued in
conventional LP jackets as Vol.1 and Vol.2. Were these albums also
included
in a SLIPCASE or BOX ?????? None that I've seen on the internet appear
in
that form - only as separate LP's.



Were they SOLD as individual items ?? Seems strange that someone would
buy
an incomplete recording.



I can't locate an image of the album cover for the Beethoven 78's, but I
thought I'd seen it, being the same as the LP sets.



The manual set SL-056 has blue background, the 78 and auto sequence SL
156
is green.



The reissue of this set with the alternate Choral 4th mvt. SL 186 has
the
same green background and artwork as the original, EVEN listing the
singers
from the original, BUT with text "WITH NEWLY RECORDED FINALE". The
inside
of the box lists the new singers. Also, the additional work on 056/156
is
Brahms Song of Destiny, on 186 Beethoven's 8th symphony.



Does anyone have a version of 186 which lists the correct singers on the
box cover ????

THANKS!!!

Best wishes, Thomas.
