After 25 days, the first major U.S. airline strike was over...
Phonograph albums-like books, lithographs and neckties-were on sale last week in limited editions. A new company called Concert Hall Society, Inc. announced that it would turn out only 2,000 copies of its albums. For $105, Concert Hall promised twelve albums of previously unrecorded music by Henry Purcell, Beethoven (Scottish Songs, sung by Balladeer Richard Dyer-Bennet), Brahms, Stravinsky, Béla Bartók and others...
