Re: [ARSCLIST] Voice of America orchestral recordings

If you are talking about 16" transcriptions I've seen a number of them on
Kurt Nauck's auction lists. Derived from live radio broadcasts. I believe I
have one myself. They had quite a few series, but I have never seen any
attempt to catalog them as with the Mackenzie AFRS Series book. What I have
seen were probably late 40s and early 50s, a little earlier than what you
describe.
