[78-L] Late 1930s ARC/Brunswick sound quality, was Acoustic/electrical recordings....

[Milan P Milovanovic]

Speaking of Brunswick, was it daughter Columbia company or independent 
label? Did Brunswick use various studios with their cutting lathes mounted 
in these (Teddy Wilson combo sessions come to mind), or Columbia studios? 
What was common practice these days: record company to hire studio hours, or 
to record in their own?

Thanks,

Milan
