of the Vocal Record Collector's Society (VRCS).
(Note: I'm not a member of the society but post this for information
purposes.)
Here is their notes on what is the VRCS:
"The VRCS is an organization formed by record collectors who reside
primarily in the New York City metropolitan area. Original founded in
1956 as one of four competing collector groups, it was the only one to
survive due to its broad base of membership. In 1959 the VRCS issued its
first Christmas record, a ten-inch LP containing rare and unusual
recordings not available to the general public. The Society has continued
to grow (now numbering over two hundred members world-wide) and so has the
scope of the annual record issue, which became a CD in 1993. FOr further
information concerning membership and purchase of back issues of the
Society's recordings, please contact:
Mr. Joseph Pearce
116 Norman Avenue,
Brooklyn, NY 11222 USA
The 1999 issue is dedicated to collectors William Violi and Richard
Porter. The Ponselle track (no. 23) is dedicated to Violi, who was a
friend of the diva, and the Zenatello track (no. 24) is dedicated to
Porter, who was a good friend of the tenor.
The CD is engineered by Seth Winner. The booklet includes specific
information on records with matrix and issue numbers, as well as
biographies and pictures of the singers. A handful of OPERA-L subscribers
are involved with the project, including Larry Holdridge and Charles
Mintzer (apologies if I've neglected someone).
