[78-L] Fw: For 78's, What Does Transcription Mean?

[David Lennick]

Musically, transcription can refer to an arrangement such as Bach 'transcribed for orchestra' by someone like Stokowski. In 78 context it's from the same era of recorded sound (pre-LP) and is short for 'electrical transcription' or 'radio transcription', a disc recorded off air or intended for broadcast in the days before tape.

Many of you recently referred to “transcription”.

What does transcription mean in the context of 78’s,
and can it have more than one meaning?
