Label/Release Info - RCA Victor, LM-1001
Fiedler's June 20, 1947, recording of Gaîté Parisienne by Jacques Offenbach was eventually released by RCA as their very first long-playing classical album (RCA Victor LM-1001), in 1950.
In 1950, realizing that Columbia's LP format had become successful and fearful that RCA was losing market share, RCA Victor began issuing LPs themselves. Among the first RCA LPs released was a performance of Gaite Parisienne by Jacques Offenbach by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra, which had actually been taped in Boston's Symphony Hall on June 20, 1947; it was given the catalogue number LM-1001.
