[78-L] CONCERT HALL SOCIETY questions

[David Lennick]

Oddly enough, Concert Hall's 78s were dubbed from 33RPM lacquers, as were most 
labels in that period. You can hear the surface noise and quality change 
mid-side between movements on the Barber Cello Sonata.  Some of those 
recordings stayed in print for years on CH and MMS, like the Louis Kaufman 
"Four Seasons" which was recorded to beat the ban in December 1947.

And I have a few in paper sleeves. I also have Cherkassky playingthe 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 onEnglish Decca EPs though (in the dead wax).dlThomas Stern wrote:> On the label of Concert Hall LP's, above the spindle hole is thehands-baton trade mark, "
