[78-L] Victor COULD make decent recordings when it had to..

I've asked that question repeatedly over the years. Their 1931-34
recordings are particularly beautiful (I think of Ellington and Armstrong
sides). The 1944-early 49 NY recordings are incredibly dry, although the
Artie Shaw Hollywood sessions in 1944-45 are also beautifully recorded.
