    Somewhere online, is there a discography which includes the contents of all Rococo lps?

    BTW, I was interested in vocal acoustical reissues back in the late 1960's when I worked in a US record store. While there were a number of labels also offering vocal reissues active at the time...e.g. Scala, Eterna, Club 99, TAP, etc. , I seem to
    recall there was another Canadian label (Cantilena) which was ordered through the same distribution as the RoCoCos. Not certain of it, but I'm musing that Cantilena might well have been another label in the Ross Court family of companies (?)

    Unless some intrepid soul undertook research in the interim years, my recollection was that promotional data offered by RoCoCo at the time was scant...just some letter-sized pages folded in fourths (accordion style) with a LP rec #, the artist, and
    possibly the opera name of an aria, song title, maybe not even then. Schwann used to list them in their usual one-line manner in the rarely produced classical guide, but I don't think RoCoCo even made their monthly issues....again this was in the late
    60's era so hopefully there was a broader effort/cataloging later. However, as I further recall already in the 70's (limited audience appeal to "stock" in the stores generally), and especially in the 1980's when LP cutouts in stores were plentiful due
    to the new commercial CD's, such historical issues were rare to encounter. Good luck to the effort.

    Oops....just read fully the link post and saw that Cantilena was already mentioned...

    Yes, Cantilena was a different outfit with its own transfer technique. I found mint copies of a couple of them some years ago. Horrible artificial reverb throughout. I don't recall any similar "enhancement" on Rococo.
