[78-L] Where were the dubbed Caruso records made?

[Michael Shoshani]

I was always under the impression that the Caruso re-recordings with the 
orchestral overdubs were made by Victor, either in Camden or New York.

British Pathe, however, has a small snippet of one of their newsreels 
that shows the process being carried out in London, presumably at Abbey 
Road since the film is from 1932.

The unidentified "master of ceremonies" presents an original acoustic 
version on an open-horn gramophone, then its electrically-overdubbed 
version. Curiously, the acoustic version is a later pressing to which 
the eccentric groove had been added.
