272 LP RECORDS 12” UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED All LP records and jackets are in 1-2 condition unless otherwise described. Some may have minor cover index marks (numbers) top left rear corner. "Few lt. rubs" indicate superficial marks, usually related to early mono issues which were not originally issued with internal sleeves. "Factory sealed" indicates unopened, mint copy. Mono unless described as Stereo. Most autographed records are in mint condition, and are possibly unplayed. A very few of the LPs (not autographed) may have a bit of a musty odor, having been housed in a basement (not mine!) for a number of years. If at all offensive, the jackets can be left in the sun for a few hours (without the records enclosed!) and the slight scent should disappear. All autographs (signatures) here and elsewhere in this catalogue are guaranteed to be genuine. If you have any specific questions, please don’t hesitate to ask (as soon as is possible). ANY DAMAGE DESCRIBED.

COLLECTOR REQUESTS Mr. F. S. Winstanley, 7A Blakeley Brow, Raby Mere, Wirral CH63 0PS, ENGLAND marked his 60th year of collecting (yes, that’s the right number) in 2010 by issuing a CD appropriately titled 60 Years of Collecting. This was so successful (note the excellent review, for one, by John Steane in the Aug., 2010 Gramophone) that Mr. Winstanley decided to extract more gems from his collection for a 2011 issue, 61 Years of Collecting. This, too, acheved excellent notices and he is now at work on a third volume, 62 Years of Collecting which he has advised will include some unpublished material among the rarities. If you wish to secure any or all of these issues, Mr. Win- stanley’s address is above. Should you prefer phone or fax contact, his number is (011)-151-334- 7085 outside of England. I gather that within the U.K. one deletes the country code and adds a zero: 0151-334-7085.

Many collectors will have been fans of David Canfield’s Ars Antiqua LP and 78 lists. Although he no longer produces these, he still collects and is particularly looking for records to complete his collection of recordings of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Those records he needs are: , Eng. Columbia L1341, L1342. C. Guilbert, French Columbia LFX 607 Anthony Collins, Paxton PR 436 Nikolai Goloyanov, CCCP 13 Victor Orchestra, Victor 24778. Mr. Canfield can be contacted via e-mail at or (phone) 812-322-2260.

Mr. Kevork Marouchian, a collector of violin recordings on 78s and cylinders is searching for some very rare violin recordings still missing from his archive. Highest prices will be offered or alternatively, great vocal, piano or orchestral rarities will be made available for trade. A detailed want-list will be gladly sent upon request. Also, Mr. Marouchian has been at work over a decade on a Biographical Dictionary of Violinists, 1830-1930 and is still looking for information on hundreds of violinists who recorded but for whom, so far, little or no biographical information has turned up. Any help will be greatly appreciated and fully acknowledged. A list of these violinists will be sent upon request. Mr. Kevork Marouchian, PO Box 860 408, 81631 Munich, Germany. Phone: +49-89-957-7619. Fax: +49-89-929-5272. THIS CATALOGUE IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET (Holdridgerecords.com) which includes SOUND CLIPS of of sixty of the records you’ll find listed.
