[78-L] Lacquer discs recorded at 80 rpm

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

Does anyone happen to have one or more of these discs? Were they instrumental 
only or is there a vocal voice doing the singing too so the star can learn the 
song?

But playbacks were only heard on set and picked up by microphones as reference 
audio, not used as part of the final mix. The slate and the click countdown on 
the disc provided sync points but the final audio was mixed in from film audio, 
no?

Hmm.
