[78-L] Folkways

[David Lennick]

There have to be master tapes, insofar as Folkways kept pretty much everything 
in print. I think only Columbia ever mastered direct from original discs to 
33RPM lacquers, and that was during the experimental years before launching the 
LP in 1948..by that time, tape was available, even if many companies hedged 
their bets and cut original sides on tape and lacquer into 1949.

Which is not to say that tapes couldn't have been lost or misfiled or rendered 
unplayable over the years.
