[78-L] Lousy on 78s- great as reissue

[Michael Biel]

Once you play a lacquer you can't plate it.  If there are bumps or
indentations in the side walls, the grooves will tear when they are
separated.

Tell you what I don't understand (well, that would take years): Why
didn't
they just make a matrix and mother from one of the lacquers, and dub
from
that? That seems more stable, dimensionally and otherwise, than sitting
on
a lacquer for up to a decade and then dubbing that. (Also, where did
they
store everything?)
