[78-L] Lacquer discs recorded at 80 rpm

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

They had mag tracks in 1939? I though that tape recording was developed a little 
after that like during WWII.

I recall the WOO was on mag track. The DVD set I have includes the 
Munchkin's Songs as originally recorded. It is interesting to hear the 
voices as they really were and at the tempi they sang at, so when sped 
up they all matched perfectly. That must have taken some planning.....
