[78-L] Transcription differences

[david.diehl at hensteeth.com]

Standard dropped its exclusive deal with RCA during the first Petrillo ban and after that, anything goes. I know I have a couple of Standards with Victor PMS typewritten matrices, Allied (Columbia Viva-tonal-style) gutters around the center holes and handwritten D-6000 control numbers, sometimes mirror-image. Some labels state "NAB Standard" even though they're earlier Orthacoustic RCA matrices. I think a little Bailey's Irish Cream would put this all in perspective...

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.dldavid.diehl at hensteeth.com wrote:> So-o-o are the YTH mxs.

I have two copies of Standard Z-192, Jack Teagarden. 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> ______________________________________________________________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
