I am looking for information about the recordings of RUTH RUBIN
released by the ORIOLE records label.

I have information about two albums:
Album No.2 (3 78rpm records, issued 1950)
Vol.III (LP, issued 1954, reissued by Folkways 1959)

comments on the LP and on some internet sites indicate that there
was an Album No.1 issued in the mid 1940's - I have not found
any information about this release. There are TWO other 78rpm
albums of Ruth Rubin, issued by ASCH/STINSON, and DISC, but I have
not found the ORIOLE Album 1.

Some sources also indicate a CHILDREN's song LP was issued
by Oriole - have not found any confirmation of this (however there
is a FOLKWAYS lp of this description).

Does anyone HAVE the 78rpm Album No.1 or the CHILDREN's Lp
ON ORIOLE label, information confirming their existence or scans ?????

Thanks, Thomas.

I have a lot of Ruth Rubin material, but I'm away from my books just now. Remind me in 2 weeks.

The Internet Archive has one 78-rpm record that you can listen to: Oriole 100, with songs sung in Yiddish by Ruth Rubin, arranged and accompanied on piano by R. Post:

Side 1: Yankele (written by M. Gebirtig)
Side 2: 1. Bay Dem Shtetl; 2. Vigndig A Fremd Kind; 3. Basseraber Kinder Tants (no songwriter identified).

Hi Jim,
Thanks for posting - that disc is from Album No.2, The major
Jewish sound archives (FAU, Dartmouth, Yivo, etc.) all have
complete listings for this album, and "Vol.III", some also
permit listening.

Thomas.
