The stars are often not the innovators; typically, they're simply the best of the bunch, as opposed to the folks who got there first.Lee Hartsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378950382643333359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13248979.post-60255055731208038442020-12-10T21:16:16.524-05:002020-12-10T21:16:16.524-05:00Yes, that could definitely put mine at 1959.

All I had to do was look down one row.<br /><br />As I noted, the "recoding location" dates say 1957 and 1959, but I noticed that 1959 is followed by "mfr." in the case of the organ used for Side A, which was in fact built in 1959. However, the organ used for Side B was restored ("first played") in 1953, so 1957 must refer to the recording date. 1961 seems a little late for a 10-inch monaural LP, but we're talking Germany, so... Isn't guesswork fun?

In another it dates the Cantate LP to 1961, probably the publishing date rather than the recording date.Busterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918896767504950096noreply@blogger.com
