[78-L] Fwd: Wilma Cozart Fine

[Michael Biel]

This is an excellent and extensive article,

http://www.soundfountain.com/amb/mercury.html

and it provides me with a reliable source to cite for a piece of 
information I already knew.  I had wanted to comment earlier that there 
was a serious flaw in the Stereophile obit which praised Mrs. Fine for 
the first mono Living Presence recordings.  She had nothing to do with 
them -- she did not join Mercury until 2 or 3 years after those records 
came out.  David Hall was the producer of all of the early mono-only 
Mercury classical records.  We are being treated with the same gung-ho 
shoddy research by modern journalists in the Stereophile article by  
Kalman Rubinson as we are with the Steinweiss book which incorrectly 
claims Steinweiss invented the illustrated album cover which changed 
records from being packaged in plain brown wrappers.
