Recordings of Enrico Caruso: a discography Hardcover – 1973
by John R. Bolig (Author)
John R. Bolig is a seasoned discographer of the recordings of the Italian tenor Enrico Caruso. In 1973 he published The Recordings of Enrico Caruso (Dover, DE: Eldridge Reeves Johnson Memorial, Delaware State Museum, 1973). As noted in his preface to Caruso Records, the 1973 discography contained no surprises but rather was noteworthy for its "comprehensiveness and organization." In contrast to earlier Caruso discographies, most arranged alphabetically by composer, Bolig's offered a chronological [End Page 700] listing. Where others had listed only released recordings, Bolig traced and documented every record known to have been made by Caruso, both published and unpublished. Bolig also included matrix and take numbers, along with catalog numbers of the various 78 rpm issues in both Europe and the United States. ("78 rpm" is an approximation; for a variety of technical reasons, most so-called "78s" were recorded at speeds other than the nominal 78.26 rpm well into the 1930s.) Emulating the work of the late Aida Favia-Artsay in Caruso on Records (Valhalla, NY: The Historic Record, 1965), Bolig included recording/playback speeds for all published Caruso recordings. An updated, but substantially abridged, discography by Bolig appeared in Michael Scott's biography The Great Caruso (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1988, 265-93). In the interest of saving space, the publisher did not include catalog numbers, making it less useful for serious research. In contrast to earlier Caruso discographies, most arranged alphabetically by composer, Bolig's offered a chronological listing. Where others had listed only released recordings, Bolig traced and documented every record known to have been made by Caruso, both published and unpublished. Bolig also included matrix and take numbers, along with catalog numbers of the various 78 rpm issues in both Europe and the United States.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.85 – 5.75$

2 records: 6.75$

5 records: 9.00$

10 records: 12.00$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 35$.

Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

One record usually ships for 25$ for 10" 25-35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).

 As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.

Thank you very much, and good luck bidding !!!
