Perhaps if one of the ROUNDER collective is on the list, they
can provide information about the LP, additional to that provided
on the WIRZ site.
My recollection is that the TIMELY LP was pressed by GELLERT, but
no jacket prepared. The Rounders bought the un-distributed LPs
and prepared a jacket and extensive booklet. The original
pressings had a ROUNDER label pasted over the original. When
these sold out, further pressings were made by Rounder. It would
be interesting to know how many actually reached circulation.
I think there were a sizable number, such that finding a copy
on the various vinyl sale or auction sites should not be difficult if
one is patient.
For those who do not know, TIMELY was a 78rpm label in the 1930's
and 1940's which issued a series of Communist/Labor songs with
wonderfully illustrated labela. Theyalso released an album of Earl Robinson and a series of classical records (including the BOYCE Symphonies conducted by Max Goberlan), and an album of EDWIN MARKHAM reading his poetry.
Best wishes, Thomas.
