[78-L] early days of KPRC

[David Lennick]

A lot of early Columbia lps were just rushed onto the market, and most of them 
had been dubbed direct from 33RPM lacquer originals without a tape master. The 
EQ is all over the road and many discs suffer from stamper stretch or noisy end 
grooves. Victor didn't produce an lp till 1950 although the low numbered discs 
all have D9 matrix numbers, so at least they were working on having a library 
when they finally started issuing lps. Some early Londons are absolute horrors.
