[78-L] Early portable electric recording? [FWD]

[Martin Fisher]

At first glance this looks like a fairly nice website.  It's a pity that the 
few redordings I tried out are horribly mutilated.  "Virtually" 
unlistenable.  And the guy gripes that "editing" has no place in 
RESTORATION.  Sounds more like MURDER to me.
