The next two covers (MM-688 and MM-703, both from 1947) have appeared on this blog before, when I uploaded transfers of the recordings contained therein. But here they are in sequence, and with the left border displayed this time (which, unfortunately, display water damage caused by the Great Georgia Flood of 2009):
Finally, two from 1948. I've also seen the Mahler 5th (MM-718) with a generic cover. My guess is that Columbia rushed copies of this set to the stores for the 1947 Christmas trade before the cover shown here was ready (the generic-cover copy that I saw had Christmas 1947 greetings to the original owner written inside):
To be continued, with a survey of Steinweiss generic covers....
I have a preserved set of the mahler #5 records depicted above. I'm trying to see if they are worth anything.... any ideas?
