[78-L] Transcription differences

[David Lennick]

Could RCA have pressed Columbia masters? The YTH matrix numbers are hand 
written, not machine stamped, and the disc feels like an RCA pressing. The 
labels are identical to those on P156, which has PMS-0xxxxx matrix numbers 
(which are also hand written). Columbia transcriptions are heavier, no? The SSR 
issue is much lighter.

Matter of fact, EVERY matrix number on the 5 discs I have here is hand written, 
whether it's an RCA or Columbia number. I guess Jackson's discs must have been 
popular and gone through a few dubs and reissues.

The labels are visibly different in type face, the matrix numbers are different, and the timings are different (by a couple of seconds, and not always in the same direction). By different matrix numbers I don't mean take numbers or other clues to indicate that one is a dub..completely different numbers and series! YTH 1063/4 on one copy and SRR 2502/3 on the other. And the SRR issue (a lighter, more flexible and probably later pressing) sounds terrible, squeezed.The "better" copy isn't always the better copy!dl_______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
