[78-L] Beach Boys 78

[David Lennick]

156rpm..it's a New York Philharmonic concert conducted by Arvid Kurtz from 
Collins Auditorium, Fordham University, broadcast over WFUV-FM, transferred to 
78RPM lacquers except that the last 4 sides are playing at half speed. The 
aircheck must have been recorded at 15IPS and someone switched the tape 
playback to 7.5 before transferring the last portion to disc, or the aircheck 
was at 7.5 and someone switched it while recording (or the last reel was 
recorded at 15). Odd, because the discs are in slide auto sequence so the 
number of discs needed was known and you'd think somebody would have caught 
such a whopping error.
