LP Album Welte "Legendary Masters of the Piano"
By Lou Raichle

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Dear Folks:  Were the master audio recordings created for the issuance
of the Book of the Month Club's 1963 album of 3 LPs, "Legendary Masters
of the Piano", ever used for new recordings in any other format (CDs,
et al)?  I have the original LPs, which are now worn and scratchy.
I'd love to have those great recordings in a modern format.

Thanks,
Lou Raichle
