[78-L] Bristol Sessions article in today's Wall Street Journal

[Doug Pomeroy]

In 2002 I engineered a BMG Heritage album titled
COUNTRY LEGENDS: The Bristol Sessions, Vol. 1,
(RCA/BMG Heritage 0786365131 2).
I made all the transfers from original metal parts, and
I have yet to hear better sounding reissues of the 18
songs included (he said immodestly).

Good luck finding a copy of this CD today!

Unfortunately, there was never a Volume 2.
