[78-L] Fwd: Wilma Cozart Fine

[Michael Biel]

Following my message to the editor of Stereophile and nice replays from 
him and from the author of the piece, there has been a change to it.  
Originally it said:

 >> The initial series releases were monophonic and, for this, Cozart 
and Robert Fine
 >> used a single microphone ("single-point recording")

Now it says:
 > Mercury's initial series releases, made a year or two before Ms. 
Cozart joined the
 > company, were monophonic and were produced by David Hall. For these, Hall
 > and Robert Fine used a single microphone ("single-point recording")
