[78-L] Pressing 78 RPM recordings

[Michael Shoshani]

If you're looking for shellac, you won't find it. 78 RPM shellac records
had many other ingredients including cotton flock, rottenstone, and carbon,
as well as different grades of shellac in the mixture - all carefully
processed, filtered, processed more, and all done on an industrial scale
both in raw supplies and in machinery that just doesn't exist anymore. The
entire infrastructure went into decline in the 1950s, and was moribund by
the start of the 1960s.

Vinyl is a different story.
