[78-L] Setting new standards of awfulness [fwd]

[David Lennick]

Brunswick electricals as well..famous for last notes trailing out while the 
engineer is cutting the run-out, although French HMV (and on the odd occasion, 
English HMV) is far worse for chopping last notes. I also have a 30s Brunswick 
Helen Morgan where the run-out was cut separately and starts about 4 revs 
before the cutting is finished..again, bye bye last notes.

(and of course the whole "Light-Ray" adventure.) PC
