Richard Wagner - A Condensed Version Of Lohengrin - World's Greatest Opera Records 78 RPM Album Set


The complete album - Early access available via becoming a Patreon patron, details below.





After recording a set of 11 album sets of instrumental classical music for the Music Appreciation Products, Inc. for their initial "World's Greatest Music" series between 1938-1940, RCA Victor recording engineers also facilitated the initial "World's Famous Operas" series recorded in 1940 (12 album sets in total). The artists were not specifically credited on the original releases. However, recording session records have been found that identify who they were; see https://78records.files.wordpress.com... for more details.

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.
