[78-L] Late Pressed 78s.--Historic Masters & Symposium

[Martin Fisher]

Hi Ron,

I assume you're talking about Historic Masters and Symposium REPRESSINGS
here.  What you hear is a faithful reproduction of what's on the metal parts
WITHOUT the added shellac noise.  Most of the material was mastered to a
"wax" blank and therefore the vinyl pressings do reproduce that and any
other noise resulting from damage to the metal parts through oxidation and
mishaps through the years.  

I like to get them for this reason plus the novelty of having a physical
reproduction of the matrix which I can inspect and play with my own choice
of stylus and speed and eq and centering............... Another added bang
is getting unreleased material and affordable reproductions of items that
may cost mucho bucks on the collectors market.

Best!

Martin

- Do you hear things on the vinyl, good or bad, that you don't hear on a
- clean
- shellac original?

- Hi!
- 
- Those of us who collect Operatic 78s are blessed because Historic
- Masters have continued until today to press on vinyl from original
- metal parts, 78 recordings that go back to the beginning on the 20th
- century, often previously unissued tracks to boot! I have all of
- them, including the very first, issued about 40 years ago  (smug
- boast!)
- 
- In addition there have been a whole lot of Phonotype Fernando De
- Lucia 78s released on vinyl 78s again pressed from original metal
- parts, chiefly by Symposium.
