Re: [ARSCLIST] anonymous recordings
They are credited on the covers/labels,and are from the same stampers.I have at least one Webster,that was issued in a unique cover.

was sold in a big, thick binder, with packaging that was almost a
duplicate of the Standard Treasury of the World's Greatest Music
(which used entirely different recordings from a different source).
Now there were quite a few Swarowsky performances in the Philharmonic
Family Library, which came in individual red boxes (very similar to
the green boxes of the Basic Library, though that, again, used
different recordings). The Philharmonic Family Library got its
performances from the old Music Treasures of the World mail order
series, apparently a production of the American Recording Society,
for whom Swarowsky made a number of recordings. (Other releases in
the series were picked up from German sources, perhaps via Urania.)
Some of those Swarowsky performances would later show up on Audio
Fidelity in true, if primitive, stereo, and a few of those have even
made it to compact disc in Argentina.
