Thread Name: Stinson LPs - discography
Subject: RE: STINSON LP's
Thomas,

Thanks, very glad to have those numbers.

Re the Dyer-Bennett German Folk Songs of Beethoven. I once owned the album, a 10-inch, and I am ~97% sure it was on Stinson. It had, among other things, his recording of "Jan Hinnert."

However, there's a slim chance my memory may be fooling me on this one, and it could have been on another label. One thing for sure, I have never seen that album listed in any Dyer-Bennett discography, yet whatever the label, I know it existed.

Perhaps someone reading this thread may remember it and give us more exact information.

Or someone may unearth a mid-1950s Stinson catalog. By the 1960s their catalogs had dropped a number of the 10-inch issues, so later records show nothing of them.

Very exciting about the Rounder project. Hope it extends to more than just Woody.

Glad to see interest in Stinson resurfacing. I started buying their 78s and LPs c. 1950 from Pennsylvania. Finally visited their Union Square NY store in, probably, 1955 -- met Ken Goldstein there -- what a time machine to think of it now.   And, alas, almost all of those records are gone in the shuffle of years.
