[78-L] Cambridge Process

[Michael Biel]

There had been a proposal many years ago to circulate a couple of 
records around to different restoration engineers and compare the 
results.  This could still be done, but unfortunately a couple of 
long-time restoration geniuses are no longer with us and it would have 
been great to have their work represented since they were responsible 
for so much work in the pop and jazz field..
