"HAGANAH" 78rpm set

The recent discussions on listmembers' private collections prompts me to pose
a search once again. In 1948 on the private Night Music label (Pittsburgh -
Night Music #106), a set of 78rpm discs was released entitled "Haganah-Songs
of the Jewish Underground". Sung by Dov Arres and commissioned by Habonim
Labor Zionist Youth. Songs are sung in Hebrew and English.
I am archiving things for Habonim here on the West Coast and have managed to
come up with a couple of beat-up copies, but they are really not worth
archiving because of condition. I have shied away from some of the well
known archives because there is zero budget on this. I am hoping to come up
with a decent copy so I can dump it to CD for future preservation.
I believe a song from this collection was even played in the background of
1997's Academy Award winning documentary "The Long Way Home".
Any and all advice / suggestions are welcome- you can e-mail me at

Thank you!
