[78-L] Joseph C. Smith

[Tom Hood]

Hi All
In a dim corner of my memory I remember reading that OKEY pinched one of 
Edison's senior recording engineers.He brought with him details of the 
Edison process including a system to control recording levels.If you use the 
Edison system,get rid of the lousy pressings,turntable rumble inherent in 
hill & dale recordings not present on lateral recordings,the feeble 
orchestral arrangements the recordings might just sound like an OKEY disc.
Maybe
