I note that clean, clean, clean shellac or vinylite (Victrolac??) was 
used and the records that've passed through my hands (and by my ears) 
are not dubs. I wonder if they had a streamlined, process of pulling one 
up stampers from the mother(s)? I've even seen these typed white label 
discs with alternate takes! Very nice.
