ULTRA RARE VERSION OF SONGS FROM THE COLLECTION, "Jazz at the Philharmonic" PRESSED ON THE ARCO LABEL!
From Discogs on this label:
"Short lived label operated by American Record Company (2), please do not mix up this one with American Record Company (commonly known as ARCo) or with one of the later labels by the same name.
Founded by Irving Berman in late 1949, following the closure of his Manor Record Company. Pete Rugolo served as Arco's musical director. Much of the Arco catalog consisted of reissues of Manor and Regis releases, but some new recordings were made. Berman also purchased rights to masters from outside sources, such as calypso recordings from Moses Asch's Disc Records label and Volumes 2 and 3 of Norman Granz Presents Jazz At The Philharmonic series."
These were found in generic sleeves, and they look PLAYABLE, with some light scratches over generally clean vinyl, I'll grade them VG+ overall, with some surfaces more playable and one or two locations with more notable scratches which could affect play.  A listing photo of one side of each of the 5 78's are shown in the listing photo
