Found a copy of Mercury SR 2-1925 today. Bach Complete Flute sonatas with Maxence Larrieu flute, Rafael Puyana harpsicord and Wieland Kuijken viola de gamba. It a promotional, with one lime green label, and one white. Looked ugly in the store but cleaned up nicely.
Never seen the Lime green label before! And never even heard of this mercury.
Performances and sound are great.

Nice find! I'm always looking for obsccure artists and labels when crate-digging. Here's a recent thrift shop find:
Mercury used white labels, green labels, and gold labels for promos. There are several label variations for the white label, but the green and pink are identical to the stock maroon label with a different background color. Unlike rock records, Mercury would often put out promo copies after the record had been in print for a couple of years to stir up interest.
The gold label records have a special following among collectors in the Far East, and can sell for very high prices.
Thanks! Gold sounds familiar. I think I might have one if those floating around.
