[78-L] Lacquer discs recorded at 80 rpm

[Sammy Jones]

I've had that Wizard of Oz set for years.  The demos and alternate takes are
wonderful!  There's much, much more than would fit on the 2-CD set on the
new Blu-Ray edition of the film.  Apparently much (most?) of the recording
session material was saved.

I wonder if Oz's music was taken from discs or optical tracks...Would music
masters at the scoring sessions have been recorded to film simultaneously
with lacquers/wax?

I think multi-angle recordings exist of Gone With the Wind music as well.
