Verdi Rigoletto (Complete Opera) Volume One

Single US 1950 on RCA Victor Red Seal label
Classical (Romantic, Opera)

From booklet: "This first American recording of a complete opera by RCA Victor was made in the late Spring of 1950 in New York City." A note on the tracklist. The labels on the discs of this set were arranged for an automatic record changer -- in other words, Disc 1 (Sides A & B) was labeled with Sides 1 & 14; Disc 2 labeled Sides 2 & 13; Disc 3 labeled Sides 3 & 13, etc.. A note on the catalog numbers: "LM(X) 6101" is printed on the spine and on the libretto (see photos); "LM 6101" is printed only on the record labels.
