Killarney (Balfe)
C 8594-1 74157 6199 02246 DB 342 IRX 67 Opal 833/4+ Rom.82006-2
Notes:
The Victor recording log shows that both the LUCIA aria and Killarney were recorded on this date,
the latter being identified as a "Test." Both were probably intended as test recordings but were
so successful that they were later assigned regular matrix numbers and issued, hence the out of
sequence matrices. There is some evidence to suggest that C 8535 may have been recorded on Jan. 7,
and that C 8594-1 may have been recorded on 1 February 1910.
The Lucia side of 6196 is a re-recording. Later pressings of 74223 may be identified
by "S/8" in inner land.

GEMM 156++
Notes:
Some evidence suggests that this session may have occurred on May 11.
Re 4187f: No additional information is available about this duet, which may have even been by
Melba and Sammarco, rather than by Melba and McCormack. If by the latter, possible arias include
"Un di felice" or "Parigi , o cara." It probably was not the "Brindisi" (which requires a
chorus), since it is known that no chorus was present. The HMV recording books, according to
William R. Moran, also contain the entry "broken," usually an indication that the wax had broken
in processing, meaning there could be no test pressings.
Re 4190f: Re-issued on IRCC #7
Re HMV matrices 4191f, 4192f, & 4196f: William R. Moran notes: "...there are no entries opposite these
numbers in the recording ledgers, meaning that whatever the proposed selections may have been, they
were not made." (Nellie Melba - A Contemporary Review, compiled with Notes and
Discography by William R. Moran, Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985.

Accompanied by Edwin Schneider, she recorded "When Love is Kind" (Thomas Moore/
Traditional tune) on Bb 5036-1.
Roman numerals were used to designate takes of each recording made at HMV sessions from
4 September 1924 through 19 June 1940. These are visible in the inner land of earlier
pressings of recordings from these sessions, although some later pressings show Arabic
numerals. Arabic numerals are used in this discography for consistency within the
continuum of Victor and HMV recording sessions.
Re Bb 5034-1: RCA Victor 10-1434 was part of 78 rpm album MO-1228. This take was reissued
from the original stamper on IRCC No. 60.
Re Bb 5035-1: Reissued from original stamper on IRCC No. 217.
Re Bb 5037: As with the other unpublished takes of "The Last Rose of Summer," the 2 takes
from this session were never issued. These two takes, however, stem from a period that seems
to have allowed the survival of quite a few variant HMV takes that were never issued on 78 rpm
discs but survived as test pressings. One can only hope that one of these takes of "The Last
Rose of Summer" will eventually turn up and be shared with the community of McCormack afficionados.
