Scope and content
Canadian Talent Library (1962): The first set of music (10 disc LPs) published in 1962 by the Canadian Talent Library. The idea was created by radio managers at CFRB and CJAD so that Canadian artists could be easily accessible to radio stations. Other stations could purchase the set and be able to showcase Canadian talent using the high quality pressings. Though the set was expressly made for radio stations, select copies were given to notable Canadians. This copy, is noteworthy as it is embossed “Dr. Mabel G. Connell”.
The set includes LPs by Johnny Burt (solo), Howard Cable & His Orchestra, Vic Centro Sextet, Johnny Burt & His Orchestra, Rust Davis & His Orchestra, Bill Butler, Paul Grosney Group, Roger Pilon & His Orchestra, Alexander ‘Ragtime’ Read, and Howard Cable ‘Conducting’.
Canadian Adventure 1867-1967 (1967): Produced by J. Frank Willis and issued by the Ontario Teachers’ Federation. A one disc audio-drama depicting Canadian history. Track titles include “Confederation”, “Classroom Scene”, “Ernest Thompson Seton”, “Louis Riel”, “Almighty Voice”, “Edmonton Grads”, “Calixa Lavalee”, and “O Canada”. Voiced by Bruno Gerussi and Gordon Pinsent.
