[78-L] CONCERT HALL SOCIETY questions

[Ron L'Herault]

Maybe it is to differentiate the LP from the locked track of the typical 16"
transcription style disk?

I have a few early LP issues that say "continuous recording"..I guess the LP

was still so new at that time that they felt it necessary to distinguish it 
from 78s. And I have a few in paper sleeves. I also have Cherkassky playing
the 
Tchaikovsky 2nd Piano Concerto on both LP and 78 and neither version is 
listenable. The 78 set sounds as if they took it from a broadcast and tried 
fading the sides at the end (maybe they used reverb, can't remember..the 
experience was too painful for me to want to listen to it again).

I haven't seen 78 matrix numbers on CH LP labels. I have seen them on
English 
Decca EPs though (in the dead wax).
