[78-L] Making of the EMI centenary Wax recording - some questions

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

I suspect that they did tests in advance of the actual recording on wax 
to determine proper groove depth and such. I recall that the record is 
outer start, but it has been so long that I eve looked at it, let alone 
play it, that I can't even put a finger on it at this moment.
