The Continental Symphony Orchestra- Viennese Waltzes (Continental Records CLP-10; circa. 1950)

Continental Records was a budget label that was the forerunner to Remington records. Continental records started in 1942 by Donald H. Gabor, the same person that started Remington records in the early 1950s. Continental record LP's released in 1950 appear to have been essentially reissues of 78 rpm album sets produced by the label. These reissues were very cheaply produced, not even bothering to use LP-sized labels on the 10" album pressings, rather electing to use the same labels used on the earlier 78 rpm releases issued in the 1940s. This is a rather obscure budget label, LP-wise. Even online, I have only personally seen a handful of releases produced during the pre-and-early Remington records period before the Continental line was discontinued. I've never seen the same title twice, so I presume they are all pretty scarce. 

I had another Contential release I picked up at the same time I picked up this release. Still, sadly it somehow cracked into multiple pieces before I could digitize it, even though it was properly handled and stored... perhaps this is why they are so rare, the cheap pressing material Donald H. Gabor's record label's used is more brittle than vinyl, so it is not uncommon to come across copies broken like a contemporary shellac 78 rpm release going through the stacks at thrift stores.

I think I may have a cassette tape recording somewhere of me trying to play the aforementioned broken record. However, my attempt to put the pieces back together with Elmer's glue (I was around 12 when this all happened) didn't result in a very high-quality recording.

I am also willing to sell my physical copies of the records I have digitized and uploaded onto YouTube. All records are priced at $1 each, plus the costs of shipping them media mail. The only exception is for the Seeburg 16 2/3 rpm releases, the market value for those is at least ten dollars apiece, and that is pretty much what I to pay to get ahold of any these days. Also, I was forced to drastically purge my collection multiple times between Fall 2014 and Summer 2017, so there is a good chance for videos released before or during that time period to no longer have possession of that record in my physical personal collection to sell.
