[78-L] microphone technology

[David Lennick]

Not that Brunswick was ever known for using up-to-date technology once it went 
electrical. I very much like that performance, by the way. Wish I could find 
the late laminated pressing of it. They also kept the volume down and pressed 
on noisy shellac which got worse by the 1930s.
