Yes, I'm not so sure about that Universal owns Westminster. Roger, can
you list some CD titles that definitely come from old Westminster
masters? Thanks!

Richard Rodzinski said that a number of his father's recordings had
come out on CD but only in Japan, and not for long.

only have a couple of the LPs, but they are so timidly mastered that
the s/n is not good.

Aren't we all....
These may be among the few recordings priced the same on LP or tape
(per reviews in High Fidelity, 1956). $7.50 for an LP running
thirty minutes was pretty hefty at that time.

Westminster Laboratory Series LP today whose packaging was intact,
the zipper worked (didn't jam at the bottom), and the disc inside
the plastic sleeve was in near mint condition. Usually these
things show up destroyed, especially since folks would get fed up
with the thick plastic outer container and get rid of it, then
find that the "album" was just a foldover with no place to protect
the disc. Even the pamphlet was there. (W-LAB 7011, Petrushka, if
anyone cares.)
