[78-L] More Ferrante & Teicher on Entre

[David Lennick]

They certainly multitracked on their Westminster albums, and at various speeds. 
They weren't on Columbia all that long..don't know if they were overdubbing 
much or just using prepared pianos. They even played straight on an MGM album 
in the early 50s. I still think they were at their best before they realized 
they needed to have hit records and foisted Egssodust on us. Even then, they 
occasionally turned out some nice stuff..as well as a version of Rhapsody in 
Blue that was so appalling I yanked it off the air midway and apologized to my 
listener.

The commercial issue probably said "PD" if it said anything. Radio station 
discs like library transcriptions (Standard, World etc) listed the appropriate 
music clearing organization and I've seen "free" used on occasion.
