hifinut 28th Apr 2019		78 RPM Joe Venuti - Body And Soul / Tea For Two	I acquired this record last year and was very impressed by the recording quality. 1947! I imagine some of the improvements in electronics during WW2 had filtered down into the domestic market by that date.
hifinut 18th Dec 2018		78 RPM The Queen's Hall Light Orchestra - Coronation Scot / The Horse Guards	Review Re the Locomotive name:- There was a locomotive of the coronation class which was named"Coronation". This was LMS No 46220. I am not sure which locomotive was involved but in the mid to late 1930's, the LMS was in competition with the rival LNER company for the fastest run between London and Scotland. During an attempt at the record by the Coronation Scot, the train went through the complex junctions south of Crewe way over the speed limit. The panic braking then required, managed to smash a lot of crockery in the dining car! 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
hifinut 11th Mar 2018		Classical Item Sir Thomas Beecham And The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Scheherazade	This was one of the first stereo records I bought. I think it was in 1959. I have just played this on my present system and the stereo imaging ( EMI crossed ribbon mikes very simple arrangement I assume! ) is superb!! The matrix numbers on my copy are Side 1 2YEA 5-7 Side 2 2YEA 6-8 Seems odd? I am not familiar with details of pressing technology; maybe they had to change a "plate"? part way through the run. When I first started work, the Company had an Arts and Science Club and one of the first meetings ( In Liverpool ) I attended was a demonstration of EMI 's Stereosonic Sound. This product was released in 1956 I believe with content on 7.5 inches / sec two track magnetic tape. This leads me to suspect that ASD251 was recorded that early. Two EMI scientists came along with an impressive radiogram style cabinet and matching speaker And demonstrated a series of excerts from the stereo repertoire. It was VERY impressive.
