[78-L] HMV crackle

[DAVID BURNHAM]

This crackle certainly has nothing to do with British climate.  I purchased some G & S sets from Cappy's in Detroit which were still in their shipping crates, never played and having spent their entire lives, (I assume), in the USA.  They exhibited the same noisy surfaces as other well-played HMVs.  Canadian and American pressings of the same sets are quiet by comparison.
