W.B.lbl 5th Oct 2023		Capitol was one of the first - if not THE first - of the major labels to use magnetic tape, in 1948. Thus they were in an advantageous position once the second AFM recording ban ended that December. They started out with the Ampex 200's where the recording head was opposite from future models. I don't think the other labels got into tape until early on in the next year. Based on what I read in an Al Jolson discography, Decca didn't get on board the tape cavalcade until the middle of '49, and again with 200's. Columbia got Ampex 300's starting around Spring 1949. RCA Victor had their own brand tape machines to record and play back with.



GimmeVinyl 3rd Sep 2023		That.. Is an awesome website, xiphophilos! Very informative! Now, I've never been to Los Angeles, but I find it ironic that the Decca studios address on Melrose was next door from the building that Capitol Records bought in '49 to become their recording studio at 5515 Melrose. I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing this is when Capitol may have started using tape for recording sessions, if indeed the studio was set up with the latest in recording equipment..



xiphophilos 1st Sep 2023		The Decca version of "Sweet Lorraine" has the matrix number DLA 2255A and was recorded at the Decca Studios, 5505 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, CA, on December 6, 1940.(source). So no, it's definitely not the same version. Nat "King" Cole also made yet another version of "Sweet Lorraine" for the Mercury label, matrix 1894, recorded Los Angeles, CA, Summer 1943, and released only in 1948 on Mercury 15003 (b/w "I Found A New Baby" from the same recording session).



GimmeVinyl 31st Aug 2023		My question is... Is this the same recording as Decca 8520 from 1941, or did the King Cole Trio record another version for Capitol? Not having the Decca pressing, I cannot compare the two...



W.B.lbl 9th Mar 2023		{Images #1900048 & 1900049} should come in order before {Images #966190 & 966191}. Although 'Trainman' did label the latter set a 'repress' as it is, "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." positioned to the lower right of the 'p' in Capitol is a later add-on.
