Subject: John McCormack
There have been lyric posts and a few threads mentioning the legendary Irish tenor John McCormack, so I assume there are list members who appreciate his art.
Marston Records has just released a massive 16 CD collection of
his Electrical recordings for Gramophone (HMV) and Victor, with supplements which include his very first acoustical recordings on cylinder and disc from 1904/1906, and most of the extant broadcast recordings.

With the release of this set, almost every McCormack recording is
now available.

A few years ago Marston issued all the ODEON recordings, and
NAXOS has issued the acoustic Gramophone and Victor sides.
