This book appears to be rare.  Published the same year as W.E. Dickson's "Practical Organ Building" which seems to be much more readily available. It is also similar in size and book design to Dickson's book and I can imagine that there was a race between the publisher's to reach this market.

The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on vinyl - $12 w/ s&h

<-- Click for slideshows &expanded views

Released by Triumph Record Co. #12001 Cover art by Rudolf de Harak

Elizabeth has been the reigning monarch of Great Britain for 60 years now since 1953 when this vinyl lp record was released. Her reign has seen much good as well as bad, but alas, this poor record from her coronation has not faired so well. It's still a keepsake from her coronation. The cover is musty, the edges tearing, and the back page is water stained. I do not have a record player. The record itself has scratches, though I'd guess it's still playable.



Szostakowicz Symphony No. 5 Opus 47 $22.00

Leopold Stokowski and The Philadelphia Orchestra
RCA "A Victor Musical Masterpiece"
6 discs. I do not have a record player, but as near as I can tell these discs are very clean looking and seem to be in very good condition.
In the attached pamphlet are biographical notes on Dmitri Szostakowicz and states that "The Fifth Symphony recorded here was (first?) performed in celebration of the 20th Anniversary (1937) of the October Revolution" (of the Soviet Union)
There's a half round sticker just below the pamphlet that must be the music store it was bought "Loomis Temple of Music"
