And when all else fails, I use an adhesive remover...which will, if
left too long on the plastic, interact with the plastic causing a cloudy
effect.  [Not Goo-Gone.  Highly recommended.  Even somewhat paper friendly.

Karl (who does not have that sort of tape placed on the releases on his
label)...and speaking of my label...a plug...

Sent to press yesterday two more releases:

Welte Mignon transfers of the playing of Teresa Carreno.  These were
amongst the earliest Welte rolls, dating from 1904-5.  It was the first
time, as far as I can tell, the Beethoven Waldstein and other works on
the disc were recorded.  To put Carreno in historic perspective, as a
child she played for Lincoln at the White House.

Second release features the National Orchestral Association in music of
Lopatnikoff: His Violin Concerto w.  Joseph Fuchs, violin and the Third
Symphony.
