[78-L] SP Records

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

My curiosity over came my better judgement and I bought a copy of Denon 
CO-2111-EX, The Mahler Symphony #4 from the all-time first recording by 
Viscount Hidemaro Konoye with the New Symphony Orchestra a TOKIO (that's 
how it is spelled). May 28-29,1930. Recorded by Parlophone, but only the 
bottom portion of the label is reproduced. I assume there may have been 
a copyright or trademark issue with the name "Parlophone". See the 
question below.

This is the 2nd recording of a Mahler symphony. The first was an 
acoustical, was by Oskar Fried of the Second Symphony. There's a trivia 
question for you.

So here's my question. The booklet makes several references to the work 
having been recorded on and remastered from SP records. Is this a label 
or some other kind of designation? Does this mean 78 rpm records?
