Re: [ARSCLIST] Piston Symphony #2
One wonders how many original mothers/stampers from the early Lp era are out there ?There are special machines out there that can play theses back.Don't forget a lot of tapes out there in label archives may not always be first generation.If they are they may not always be playable.

Early LPs were mostly very poor, like early CDs.
I don't understand the current fashion for making CD transfers from LP
pressings, except in cases where the studio master tapes are truly lost.
For example, why would anyone want a Callas opera recording transferred
from an early EMI LP, when the same performance is available transferred
from the tapes?
