Indeed I seem to recall something about how various recordings were lost
during the war because they were recycled due to shortages.
Unfortunately,
I can't remember where I might have read that, or even if I'm just
imagining
it.

That makes sense. The most common disks were made of aluminum with a
acetate recording surface. Aluminum was probably the most important metal
in the wartime scrap drives.
