[78-L] The Fading Sounds of Analog Technology

[David Lennick]

Neither for Respighi..he called for something to be played on the Brunswick 
Panatrope, and the year was 1924. Both V-1 and the Beatrice Harrison record 
have musical accompaniment.

Here's one label of V-1, the Reich Aviary record which was in the catalog 
forever and which also appeared with a Hartz Mountain label. Note that the 
description refers to a 1911 Reich record which was used by Respighi.

No truth to the rumor that Victor V-2 is the sound of a cat going "Meowww..yum!"
