Don't forget to "pitch" it up about 2.4%! Even the 45 and LP issues will run 
slow if they were transferred from pre-1943 78 masters. As for curve, the ear 
is still the final arbiter.

(Randy gave July 1942 as the dates..Decca didn't begin recording on 33RPM 
lacquers till 1943, as far as I know.)
