[78-L] Fwd: Re: Re: First real LP

[dlennick dlennick]

I thunk it's safe to say that most of the Indies after 1945 were 
mastering on 16" (Mercury, Cosmo, Signature, MGM, Musicraft, Majestic) 
given that the LP reissues or even some of the pre-1950 transfers to 
other 78 labels were dubs that didn't sound like lifts from other 78s.

I had a 50s pressing of Alfred Newman's "Street Scene" (Mercury) that's 
from an original lacquer with cue scratch leading up to the first note.

My 2 cents.

  I think the main development that enabled all the “shoestring” 
companies after WW II was the introduction of the Webcor tape recorder 
which allowed anyone with a couple of hundred dollar bills to spare 
become a recording engineer able to make half decent low budget 
recordings!  This was the first time the technology was within the grasp 
of the home hobbyists. Depending on the quality of the microphone and 
the group being recorded, one could make recordings whose quality 
rivaled the best commercial records of the day!
