[78-L] L & H music

[Martin Fisher]

I know it's been a while since these original postings but a thought
occurred.  I'm under the impression that most of the shorts currently
available have NEWLY recorded "higher fidelity"music tracks playing under
the dialogue as opposed to what might have been there to begin with.  Did
all the L&H material originally have music beds?    

Thoughts anyone??

Of course, who "appeared" and who was heard are not necessarily the same
thing.
