In 1997 EMI issued a series « 1897-1997: 100 Years of Great Music ». I know of two volumes from this series, 3 CDs each, entitled « Schubert: Lieder on Record, 1898-1952: I: 1898-1939; II: 1929-1952 » . The reference is: 7243 5 66150 2 1 [USA: CDHC 66150] The CDs contain early commercial recordings and the leaflet gives the detail of each recording (date & place of recording, producer/balance engineer, original matrix number, catalogue number — Berliner, Odeon, G&T, HMV, etc.). « Transferred for LP from 78s by Keith Hardwick; digitally remastered by EMI Music France; Original LP release compiled and researched by Keith Hardwick; CD reissue researched and booklet edited by Ken Jagger » Hope it helps.
