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

[DAVID BURNHAM]

I have a copy of that package - it includes a vinyl 78, (with lead out spiral, 
no excentric groove), a VHS tape of the session and a CD copy of the 78.  The 
package is accompanied by the warning not to try to play this record on a 
vintage player.  The label of the record is a replica of a turn of the last 
century Gramophone Co. red label.

I notice the use of two horns - one for the voice and another for the piano.  We 
talked about multi-horning a few months ago but I don't know how authentic this 
is.  I have been reading "The Label - The story of Columbia Records" and it was 
mentioned that some early Gene Autry records were recorded acoustically - one 
horn on the voice and one on the guitar - to get around the electrical rights 
owned by another company.
