Other than the Pro Arte CD and the Banner CD, does anyone out there know
when if of the other Lebedeff recordings are available? I'd love to see a
recording of early Lebedeff issued. What a wonderful singer/actor.  A few
cuts of his are on a Dave Tarras CD (Yazoo label) and two are on a French
anthology entitled Yiddish, New York/Paris/Warsaw, issued in France by
Fremaux and Associates, and available at some Tower stores. But I would
like more!
