I will gladly accept any & all multi-track 78's, since I am trying to create 
a
database of the tracks found on them!

So far, I have found out that the individual tracks seem to have been 
mastered
separately...and that the multi-track 78's were created from the four or six 
(or
now EIGHT?!) recordings...one assumes the M-T records were dubbed (?)
from the chosen track "masters"...?!
