[78-L] Records about records, especially 78s

[David Lennick]

As a matter of fact, not long after I put that on a Naxos CD I had a forwarded 
letter from the company asking if there was a defective track..someone had 
heard it on the air, complete with the mock locked groove (which occurs in the 
Faust Ballet Music midway in the piece). I bet that would have been occasion 
for a visual gag if Fiedler played it in concert, like somebody kicking the 
podium to restart the music.

I think it was released first on a 78 but no matter what format it's on, it shows its connection to the 78 format by imitating a stuck record at the 78 rate of rotation.  It starts with the sound of a coin going into a juke box then runs through a bit of the Fest March from Tannhauser as I recall, (I haven't heard it in many years), before bringing in the theme of "Music, Music, Music", at one point marrying it with a theme from the Ballet Music from "Faust" by Gounod.
