[78-L] Holey moley!

[Michael Biel]

I might have seen the masters!  I visited Miles Kreuger at Columbia
while he was de-clicking Dick Powell In Hollywood (yes, cutting out the
clicks with a razor blade -- Larry Keyes was the engineer), and the
masters for Alice Faye in Hollywood were in the studio for dubbing.  I
looked thru them and held and inspected a few.  Those damn mothers are
HEAVY.

By the way, dubbing was done on a 16-inch rim-drive Gates broadcast
turntable with a GE VRII cartridge with about ten different styli.  No
variable speed -- straight 78.26.  Taping was 30 IPS full track on an
Ampex 300 or 350.

It's real, I would think likely specially pressed for Vallee, as many of
the records this guy sells are from Vallee's personal collection. The
sides were on ALICE FAYE IN HOLLYWOOD and the masters apparently still
exist - I have 1970s vinyl tests of both sides.
