EMI issued a great comilation of the original 78's mostly recorded in the early 30's ,a few years back-Although the dates are not given and the compilation includes the rarely heard Saxophone Rhapsody,EMI at Hayes,dropping them a letter to the Archivist would receive the info you want David .Will check if the dates are in the sleeve notes.I thought of Coates recently and the 50th anniversary of his death and to think he was once Beecham's viola player c.1917 ! He came a long way ! NIGEL BARRETT IN BANGKOK

This isn't in any of my Parlophone catalogues for 1951-54, but this thing sounds as if it's dubbed from 78 masters..which is odd, since Coates had already recorded both suites for Columbia. In infinitely better sound, by the way, with a better orchestra. (Hmm, I just heard a splice go by. That still doesn't account for all the wow.)
