[78-L] Electric Edison Diamond Discs

[David Lennick]

According to Ray Wile's "Edison Disc Recordings", popular DDs from 52089 on are 
all electrical (last number is 52651). If so that would make Edison the only 
label that didn't continue issuing acousticals and electricals side by side 
till the old ones were used up.

I'd have to look and see if Ray indicates the changeover point for the 
classical numbers. As to which were the masters (DD or lateral), I know the 
info has appeared somewhere but I don't have it at hand.
