Friends, I have sought for decades a record which I believe exists, but I have never seen a copy, nor do I know anyone who has. It is Grey Gull/Radiex 2527 and Van Dyke 82527 "Cryin' for the Carolines," by Frank Luther (as Calhoun on some issues). Two different Australian collectors have posted Bellbird 132 on YouTube, which is an Australian issue of this recording. I have never seen a copy of that one, and doubt I ever shall - although I do have a few Bellbirds. I would be delighted to one day locate the Grey Gull, Radiex, Van Dyke, Sunrise, or Bellbird issue of this record, but I am not terribly optimistic.
Other Frank Luther Grey Gulls I need are: 2493, 2504, 2509, 2510, 2518 and 2540. Some years ago, I bought a copy of 2493 from an on-line seller who was evidently a novice, as the disc was miserably packaged and arrived broken. I have never run across another copy. At record shows in past years, most sellers have told me they only bother with Grey Gull bands and overlook the vocal series. If anyone has a lead or a suggestion, it would be wholeheartedly appreciated.
Best regards,
Jonathan
