[ARSCLIST] Fwd: [ARSCLIST] Marian Anderson info needed

[Don Tait <Dontaitchicago@xxxxxxx>]

  I've just come across this thread. 

  I own LRM-7006. What Mike wrote about the titles and side arrangements is 
correct. Regarding the recording date, the matrix numbers for LRM-7006 are 
E3RL-4753/4. "E3" indicates that it was mastered in 1953. This is speculation, but 
if the recordings were made in 1952, wouldn't Victor probably have mastered 
the LP for that year's Christmas ("E2")? So I vote for the later recording 
date.

Good stuff! I'm sure this is more reliable than the RCA date on the reissue 
(they didn't even try for the correct dates on the other side, just showing 
"1947").
