[78-L] Scroll label

[Bud Black]

On the Jones and Hare Victor recording of "Twisting The Dials," wasn't there
at least one of the snippet selections taken from an acoustical recording?

We had that record from the time I was born and I didn't even know there was
anything unusual about it till I became a serious collector. Most people
wouldn't have noticed the difference..in 1942 it was "an old record" and
that's
what it sounded like. What I DID notice was that the 1951 pressing (which my
dad happened to get in the late 50s) sounded much better, and I guess I
thought
they'd done some nice work in transferring it to a new master.
 
It would be interesting to know how long that mule was in print in the US.
