Re: [ARSCLIST] Bartok booklet

[John Ross <johnross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about the Bartok label LPs or Caedmons, but many of the 
early Folkways LPs that Peter Bartok mastered were originally issued 
as ten-inchers, and later re-released under a different but similar 
catalog number (and sometimes a different title) as 12-inch, with no 
additional material added.

I have to assume that somebody -- Bartok or Moe Asch or somebody else 
-- cut new master discs from the original tapes for the 12-inch 
releases. And since there was only enough for a ten-inch disc, that 
might explain the extended playout grooves.
