Here is the story about this recording:
A particular rarity are the three LP volumes Heifetz released under the pseudonym Joseph Hague (same initials), accompanied by either 'Floyd E. Sharp', or 'Lionel de Leon' (both thought to be the pianist Emanuel Bay). These recordings were made as a light-hearted gesture in the 1950s, and on them, Heifetz imitates a 'bad' violinist. They were not commercially released but seem to have been produced in small numbers as gifts to friends. Owing to their rarity, these LP records are highly valued and difficult to source.
