[78-L] HORRIBLE 78 transfers, on a major label

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

I didn't know that somebody was playing 78 rpm transfers of classical music on FM radio. Interesting!! Where the wow came from I have no idea. Perhaps the transferrs were made from a poorly recorded dub? As to squeezed audio blame over use of noise reduction. Thats what I'd do....
