I thought that I'd also post this link here (old photos from EMI's website of early recording days and some of the singers and musicians involved, etc.):  https://www.flickr.com/photos/100030765@N07/sets/72157635013975944/with/9470912821/

I had posted a link on the 33 1/3 thread.

I thought that they had some very cool photos.  :)

Did you see the ones of Glenn Miller and Doris Day?

Tempted to send them an email asking whether or not they have any more info on the photos/events and/or suggesting that it would mean a lot to music lovers and historians to know more about the photos, etc.

Hmmm a stamp from Nazi occupied Bohemia & Moravia - I wonder if many of those are still around?

Interesting, I had missed that.  Is that one of the stamps in your collection Tony?

Stamps of Bohemia and Moravia under Nazi occupation are fairly common, but have a lot of historical interest.
I do have the Wagner stamp in my collection, as well as these Mozart issues.

I don't know much about stamps.  I'm trying to figure out when they were mailed and where they were stamped.  I noticed that they were cancelled in both Czech and German.
