That brings back memories.  Remingtons had noisy surfaces but some
good performances.  The Demus record recalled by Walter had as I recall,
opus 109 and 110 on opposite sides of an lp.  I played them on a Webster
portable- in- a suitcase- player, and I remember them as wonderful
performances- at least wonderful to me!  I do not believe that any
recorded performance of anything ever brought me more satisfaction.
