Muza (Canada) (6)

Muza (not to be confused with the major Polish label "Muza - Polskie Nagrania") is label of Muza Record Company (Winnipeg), information about which is actually limited to what is printed on the labels and sleeves. Only two records are known, both with Ukrainian songs performed by tenor M. Holynsky. We can add only the following: matrices (and probably records themselves) were made by the same facilities with Canadian record Arka T-19484/19485, but slightly earlier (according to matrix/catalog numbers).

The Winnipeg mail address P. O. Box 3597 - Station "B" (as printed on the sleeve) has been shared with other Ukrainian Canadian organizations, especially Ukrainian Free Academy of Sciences (Українська вільна академія наук, UVAN).
