Re: [ARSCLIST] Mercury Perfect Presence records

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I meant to write "United and Radio Recorders do not surprise me"

Also, I would bet that all the Clebanoff records were made in Chicago, both the tape and film ones. 
My bet is based on the fact that previous Mercury records by Stevens and Clebanoff were made in 
Chicago, all at Universal, if memory serves me. Stevens made a great early-stereo album of circus 
music (originally released as one of Mercury's first 2-track stereo tapes in 1956), engineered by 
the legendary Malcolm Chisolm.
