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

[Mike Harkin]

Nope!  Paraphrased only.  Was going to say,  watch & listen to the Pathe news clip, but it
looks like Mike Shoshani was here before me, with chapter and verse....

Mike in Plovdiv

Nope. It's about 1:15 into the video. As it shows various technicians at 
work twisting dials and watching meters, the announcer says "Now for 
years, recording engineers have been attempting to find some way by 
which the voice of Caruso could be revitalized, and the true beauty and 
dramatic fervor brought out. And at last they have succeeded."
