I would suspect that Smolian was the transfer engineer for that record.
Why the name was scratched in I don't know, unless the original owner
wanted to know who engineered projects in his collection.

Can anyone..including Steve..explain why the copy I just picked up of
Arthur Loesser playing Brahms Sonatas on Perennial 2005 has the word
"SMOLIAN" scratched into the label of Side 2 or possibly right into
the lacquer, with the S and N backwards? Did DBH engrave the name into
the master or is this just on this particular copy (which might have
come from Don Hodgman)?
Inquiring minds etc. etc.!
