Auction Catalog #157
Closing: Noon, Central Daylight Time; Monday, April 27th, 2020
Dear Fellow Record Collectors -
WELCOME TO THE ONLINE VERSION
OF POLYPHONY’S AUCTION CATALOG #157!
All items are offered at auction; the minimum acceptable bid for each is shown at the end of its listing. The deadline for receipt of bids is Noon, Central Daylight Time; Monday, April 27th, 2020.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ONLINE: This version is the same as the print version except no bidsheet is provided, since you can simply send an e-mail with notation of your bids and lot numbers of the items in which you are interested. A brief description of the item helps to confirm correct lot number. If you wish to authorize me to charge your winnings to a credit card which I do not already have on file, I do not suggest that you send this information via e-mail since it is not secure. You may quote an account number via phone/FAX or mail in advance – or you may wait for me to send you a copy of your invoice. If you have questions, by all means e-mail me at the address above! SEE PAGE 5 FOR TABLE OF CONTENTS, PAGE 4 FOR ABBREVIATIONS, PAGE 3 FOR CONDITION GRADING.
For those of you receiving one of my catalogs for the first time, here are a few comments about the contents and their arrangement. A listing is mono unless an asterisk or plus-sign appears at the start of the entry to indicate either true stereo (*) or electronic stereo (+). Unusual works and those with many artists are listed alphabetically by composer in repertoire sections. Familiar repertoire is usually listed by performer in an artist section. There are also sections where material is listed by label. I suggest browsing all sections!
I do some cross-referencing of artists, but you can use your computer to do any searches you like!
All items are offered at auction; the minimum bid for each is shown at the end of its listing. Deadline for receipt of bids is Monday, April 27th; Noon, Central Daylight Time.
Auction Procedures
First of all, relax! Because this is an auction rather than a fixed-price catalog, there is no need to rush to get ahead of other collectors. You should receive this catalog with at least a week to browse before having to send bids. If you did not receive your catalog in a timely manner, let me know so that I can try to remedy the problem in the future. This is a traditional blind auction: no "topping" bids are allowed, nor is information regarding the status of bids available to anyone before the auction's close, when your invoice will show your winning bids and the amount of the winning bid for any item upon which your bid was not successful.
Bids must be received by noon on Monday, April 27th. Polyphony's FAX number is: 847-831-5577. You may send E-mail to POLYPHONY2@ (note the 2 in that address!) [E-mail is the ideal way to submit bids since I will generally acknowledge receipt within a few hours, and any questions which may arise can be addressed quickly and easily.] In case of ties, the earliest bid will be the winner. Send no money until you are notified of your winning bids (invoices are sent within a couple of days of the close, and all bidders are notified - even those with no winnings).
Winning bidders must send payment in full or deposit (see below) within 4 weeks. Orders paid by money order (or personal check from established customers) will be shipped within a day or two of receipt of payment. Personal checks on an individual's first order or two may require 2 weeks to clear. Foreign customers should make payment in U.S. dollars, payable through a U.S. bank. Foreign postal money orders denominated in U.S. dollars are also acceptable, as are wire transfers. Payment is also accepted through Visa, Mastercard, American Express & PayPal. You may pre-authorize credit card payment (discussed above).
Shipping and packing charges (with insurance) for U.S. orders are added at the rate of $7.50 for the first 3 LP's, tapes, or CD’s, and $.50 for each additional. Orders including books or 78's will have shipping charges computed individually, since larger boxes, more packing material, and greater weights are involved. Similarly, shipments of CD’s alone will cost a little less. Rates for foreign shipments by insured air mail (surface mail is no longer available as of May 2007) now $32.00 for the first LP or tape, and $10.00 for each additional. Canadian insured air mail rates are $25.00 (1st item); $5.00 (each additional).
I will reserve records for 6 months for a deposit of 10% of the invoice amount. Please understand that deposits are not refundable should you fail to remit the balance on time, nor does forfeiture of a deposit eliminate responsibility to make good on bids: individuals who do not honor their bids do not receive further catalogs.
Changes in standing bids (increases or decreases in amounts offered; additions to or withdrawals of bids) are accepted if I receive them by the auction's deadline. I expect bidders to make good on the offers standing on that date. If you wish to bid on more items than you can afford, please prioritize your bids and indicate the total that you can spend. I will run down your winning bids, stop at your limit, and bill you only for those.
Condition Grading
Grading used records is difficult since a subjective element is always present and variations in equipment will cause differences in sound. My method: each disc is examined visually to note marks which may be audible. Such defects are auditioned and, in any case, each record is spot-checked in several places on both sides for surface noise and other defects which are not visible. Records are then graded by as follows:
FS - Factory-sealed
A - Records in the general category of A are in excellent condition. A record graded A- will be virtually perfect, but may have an occasional very light tick or slight noise in quiet passages: A- is my typical grade for a domestically-pressed disc which appears mint; it corresponds to the oft-used term "near-mint;" "A- to A" is used for the best foreign pressings and occasionally for unusually fine American ones.
B - Records in the general category of B are in good condition. They will have no serious scratches and will not suffer from breakup of the musical sound. A record graded B+ will have no scratches and only minor surface noise. A grade of B or B- indicates greater degrees of noise and may also involve light blemishes or scratches, but the degree of defect will not impair enjoyment of the music to a great extent.
C - These records are in fair condition. They will be playable, but noisy.
D - These records are in poor condition; perhaps unplayable.
If isolated portions of a disc sound worse than the grade indicates, specific flaws are noted in detail. A slash mark between grades indicates differences between sections of the disc, generally between sides. Mono discs are graded with the amplifier in mono mode.
Please bear two things in mind about my grading: First, because it is based on audition (rather than only visual inspection) it tells you not only how a record looks, but how it sounds: it is a rating not only of how well the record has been cared for but how well it was pressed to begin with. Second, the grade is assigned without regard for a record's age. A disc pressed in the 1950's and graded B+ is probably an excellent or mint copy of a typical pressing from that era. I try to be conservative in my grading, but if you receive a record which you feel is in condition inferior to its grade, you may return it within two weeks for full refund of its cost.
Happy Browsing!!!

Open Reel Pre-Recorded Tapes
I have not auditioned all of the tapes below, but those to which I have listened are in excellent condition, and all are so guaranteed (understanding that early 2-track tapes are delicate and require very careful handling). When a listing contains more music than would fit on a single LP, I have indicated the LP equivalent in parentheses as I do with the record listings; I am no longer counting the reels also. Tapes are 7 1/2 ips, 4-Track, non-Dolby and include libretti for vocal works unless otherwise indicated. With some of the rarer Barclay-Crocker issues I have placed a number at the end of the listing indicating the total number of copies of the tape ever made. In one of their last flyers, BC published these numbers to give an idea of which items were particularly scarce. With some of the "audiophile" material I have noted reviews or comments I have found of a tape's LP counterpart (or the tape itself) in The Absolute Sound by the letters TAS followed by issue number, colon, page number (i.e. 58:139). The following codes also apply:
3 3/4 = 3 3/4 ips D = Dolby NL = No Libretto BC = Barclay Crocker issue
Open Reel's: Operatic & Choral Repertoire
Operatic and choral listings include libretti unless noted NL for "No Libretto."

Listings of Audiophile & Special Label LP’s follow on the next pages (
AUDIOPHILE AND SPECIAL LABEL RECORDS
The following several sections are devoted to listings of records by manufacturer in order of prefix and issue number. In most of these cases, either an individual item or a whole series has a following among groups of collectors on the basis of either quality of recorded sound to begin with or of pressing vintage (or both); in some cases (audiophile or not) the label per se has so devoted a following that it makes sense to list discs here rather than in an artist or repertoire category. Since many of these audiophiles are also followers of The Abso!ute Sound magazine, I have also included notations when I have found reviews or comments regarding specific discs in this publication. These take the form of the issue number followed by a colon, then the page number, i.e. [38:155]. Please consult these references directly if you are interested in what TAS has said. Their content in generally favorable, but they are not always so. Also, I have included these references even in cases where TAS has discussed or listed a different issue of the same recording I have listed (for example, a domestic vs. an imported pressing, or a reissue vs. original issue). So do not automatically assume that a TAS reference means a rave review of the specific item listed. When the letter "L" follows one of these notes, it means that the item was included on Harry Pearson's list on that page in that issue (rather than meaning that the item received an actual review or comment). [If you have a specific interest in the early Columbia stereo pressings with "2-eyes" labels, or the even earlier "6-eyes" pressings, here is where they are in this catalog: #198, 200, 237, 307-10, 535, 549, 589, 932-35, 1000, 1006, 1010, 1047, 1062, 1135, 1225, 1258, 1271, 1334, 1364, 1386, 1413, 1462, 1468, 1480, 1494-95, 1502, 1507, 1517, 1588, 1590, 1592, 1604-05, 1641, 1657, 1659-63, 1670, 1737, 1775-76, 1827-29, 1831-33, 1941, 1943.]
LP's: Angels
All of the mono Angels below (except as noted) are early British pressings from the period 1953-1958 when Dario Soria was Angel's president. Except as noted otherwise, these copies are the deluxe editions, with fine art work on the covers, extra heavy sleeves and dowel-rod spines (boxed sets did not have the dowel-rod spines). In a few instances the spine is gone (indicated with "ns"); in some cases the copy is from their thrift edition ("th"), wherein the same fine pressings were packaged in simple sleeves without notes and sold for lower prices than the deluxe editions. Stereo items are usually either early pressings ["red" = red label for the very earliest of them, or "blue" = blue label used until the late '60's] or 45 rpm audiophile issues from the early 1980's. I sometimes also list other stereo Angels here when their EMI incarnations have been particularly popular.

For the SR series (and some of the others) I am now replacing my previous pressing designation by means of label-type with designations by means of stamper numbers, since most of my customers seem to find that information more complete and useful. The FR's are the earliest stampers, followed by the RFR's, CFR's and M's. FR stampers no longer appeared in issues with numbers above about SR-90265 (some earlier numbers may also have been pressed first as RFR's), and there were no RFR's either above about SR-90500. Excellent (or mint) copies of Mercury's early stereo pressings (particularly those with the early FR stampers), like those of most companies in the late 50's and early 60's, sometimes grade A- but frequently have a degree of surface noise which falls a little below my audition grade of A-, yet is quieter than what I grade B+. These are graded "A- to B+." Items graded A- are very fine copies of very quiet pressings, and grades above that are exceptional.

LP's: RCA's
I am now listing RCA's all together in one group when they are either early pressings in which customers have indicated an interest, or when they are later pressings of issues which have had a particular following. Records are listed alphanumerically by prefix and number. Codes for pressings refer to label types, and are given in brackets just before the grade at the end of the listing (e.g. [SD]). RCA pressing codes are as follows:
PD = Plum Dog (Nipper, the RCA/HMV dog, shown against a shaded plum background; used for the last RCA classical mono issues, c.1954-1958).
SD = Shaded Dog (as above, but with fire-engine red background; used during the early stereo era, c.1958-1963, for both mono and stereo classical issues except some Sorias).
WD = White Dog (also called "Plain Dog"; Nipper against an unshaded background of Christmas red; used for classical issues except Sorias c.1964-1969).
ND = No Dog (large "RCA" in open white letters on left of label; c.1969-1977).
LD = Late Dog (small dog on upper right of label against dark red; c.1977 forward).
BL = Black label (for popular records almost exclusively)
CP = Canadian Pressing.
PL = Plum Label (for Victrola [VIC or VICS] issues, the earliest pressings, c. 1964-1968).
SS = Soria Series (special label of Christmas red; no dog; used only for the Sorias; the first Sorias had SD labels, but switched to SS about 1961 - before WD era).
I am also including stamper numbers of each disc next to the pressing code. If the information is available I also show the names of the producer and engineer in another pair of brackets. Please note that for these issues - as for most records from the early stereo era - copies in apparently mint condition frequently grade "A- to B+" in my audition. Copies graded A- are very fine, and higher grades are quite extraordinary from this period.
