[78-L] label Info.

[David Weiner]

Often, when a lead-in was cut onto an existing master you hear a "bzzz"
sound while it plays until the needle is deposited into the original groove.
If you look carefully the record, you can see where the new lead-in ends.

Don't be so quick.  Unless you know that a specific reissue label does
not add lead-in grooves, this is not a good indication.  Most reissues
in the late 30s and 1940s I know that used original masters, added
lead-in grooves and often cut their new lead-out groove style right over
the original lead-outs, sometimes making a rather confusing mess!  While
the lack of a lead-in is a dead give-away, I usually pay attention to
the lead-out area.
