[78-L] white label Victrola

[Sean Miller]

If they're pressings you have with "RCA Victor" at the bottom instead of the VTMCo, you have early 30s pressings which tend to be fantastically quiet, along the lines of "Z" shellac.  I grab these white label pressings any time I find them in clean condition, though, because they do tend to be nicer pressings, overall, even the VTMCo ones.  I've lucked into quite a number of the later pressings over the last couple of years.

I got several of these for 25 cents a pop at Half Priced Books. All 
opera on my case. One thing about them is that they sound fantastic. 
I wonder why. Something special about the special pressing?
