[78-L] Ted Wilson Musicraft pressings WAS Casa Loma "White Jazz"

[Julian Vein]

I don't have any on 78, but have a few on Musicraft LPs and CD. There is 
a little fuzziness, but they sound like they were dubbed from another 
source (16" lacquers?), which were slightly worn. I don't think any of 
the TW solos were issued on British Parlophone, although some of the 
band sides were.
