[78-L] Question 1812 Overture

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

So did you sample a Varsity 78 or a Varsity LP? Oh & whats the shellac quality 
of Varsity 78's like? More noisy than Victor & Columbia 78's I'm sure.....

I think I sampled it once to confirm that it was the same recording, but 
Varsity had more direct access to Telefunken 78s going back to the early 40s. 
So they wouldn't have lifted the Mercury transfer.
