[78-L] ARTO Label Question

[Malcolm Rockwell]

I discovered this extra noise routine when I made a copy of a Lucille 
Hegamin side that was on Hy-Tone (another Arto label that duplicated 
what was on Arto, Bell, Globe, etc.). I was horrified to hear in the 
broadcast that I turned a nice condition record into static and mush.
Now I record in stereo, pick a side, dump the other and dupe the first 
into the empty channel. Works like a charm.
Taught me a lesson.
