[78-L] Howard Scott obit

[David Lennick]

I've never seen any of these, so I can't say, but aural evidence suggests that 
they recorded more than one segment on a 16" disc. The aural evidence is 
notably duller sound on some sides, indicating that they weren't always dubbing 
from something recorded at the outer edge of the disc. There is not a chance in 
the world that long works or complete movements were recorded non-stop (okay, I 
know, somebody will come up with contradictory evidence to that blanket 
statement). My guess is that alternative takes would be on the same disc.
