[78-L] Hello and a question

[Pablo Varela]

Thank you for your complete information. I don't have to say that I love recording sound history but I ignore more that I believe.
Yes, the Wozzeck set was only released in 33 and 45, as the box saids, but I remember a lot of titles offered in the three speeds.Reading another post by you I understand that in the transition between 78 and 33 some recording where taken in tape and then cutted in 78's, was it in that way?Thank you again, best wishesPablo.

It's a little more complicated than that for recordings made in the studio.

Beginning in early 1940, Columbia began recording its masters at 33RPM on 
sixteen inch discs, still using 4-minute takes, which they'd then copy to
78 
for commercial issue. This actually began as a backup system, and they might 
have anticipated the long-playing record becoming a reality, for which
they'd 
want high quality source material, better than just playing back 78s. Most of 
the other companies began to follow the same pattern in the mid 40s. Tape 
didn't come into use in the US till 1948-49, about the same time as the LP
was 
launched. By then, the system was reversed..they could record continuous long 
movements but they still had to have short takes to issue on 78 and 45. I
don't 
think Wozzeck was issued on 78s but I'll bet that it still has 78-RPM take 
numbers in the files.

Toscanini was notorious for refusing to start and stop for record sides, so 
even in the studio, most of his recordings were made in continuous mode. You 
can hear chopped notes at the beginnings and ends of sides in such works as the

William Tell Overture and Beethoven's 5th Symphony (and of course the 7th,
with 
its long blank gaps, and the Eroica, taken from a broadcast).
