Please be aware:

CD36 has Gershwin not Sibelius

CD67 is missing the whole of the Bassoon Concerto

errors common to more than one copy.

Further details from EMI:

"CD 36 contains the wrong music. New CDs will be sent to (the)
distribution centre on (sic) this week.

CD 46 has the incorrect information in the booklet. In the booklet it
says Handel Water music, track 10-13. This music does not appear on
this CD. However, Handel's Water Music does appear on CD86, tracks
13-18.

CD66 has the incorrect information in the booklet. This CD has 6
tracks and shouldn't say that tracks 7-9 are the Mozart Bassoon
Concerto.

CD67 has the incorrect information in the booklet. This CD has 6
tracks and shouldn't say that tracks 7-9 are the Mozart Bassoon
Concerto."


Oops............

So does this mean that a Karajan recording of Rhapsody in Blue does
exist?!

Actually, I'm semi-serious. He did conduct it once, with Weissenberg
as the pianist, and I think there might even have been an announcement
that he was going to record it.

You're wrong.

In this case, it looks like they made *two* mistakes.

Not true- if EMI had made the same mistake that I once discovered in a
sealed Tahra CD, the owner might have a handy empty box, which could
be used for note pads, paper clips, etc.

MSWD...@gmail.com appears to have caused the following letters to be typed
in news:3dca13fd-c4db-443e...@s19g2000prg.googlegroups.com:

In 1989, I decided to buy a boxed set devoted to recordings by a particular
symphony orchestra, but the outer cardboard box (into which the jewel boxes
and very thick booklet were to be inserted) were missing. My source didn't
have another copy of this unusual item, so in desperation I wrote to the
label, asking if I could somehow beg a copy of that outer box.

It didn't take very long before I received, air mail, a package containing
*two* copies of the box, in case one of them should get damaged, with a very
friendly cover letter from the person mailing it. That item sits on my
collections shelf to this day.

The boxed set? "Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, 1914-1989."

The label? BIS.

Compare and contrast with my futile attempts to get the cabinet and limited
printing booklet for BMG's Toscanini Edition.

I was purchasing CDs from a store in Washington DC (now long out of
business) when the last of the Toscanini Collection CDs were issued.
They had the cabinet in stock and so I purchased one from them. The
limited printing booklet however wasn't available separately.
