Many of the earliest World ET's, such as the Bill Dodge items were 12-inch. World did not use commercially recorded material due to its low fidelity. Originally, name artists were able to make ET's precisely because they were not to be made available to consumers in competition with their commercial recordings. World's facilities were used by Columbia in 1939-40 and Eli Oberstein's Elite/Hit labels in 1941-2. After Decca purchased World it had the right to issue World material at scale. The Condon, Roy Eldridge and Billie Holiday Deccas were originally ET issues. George Buck seems to have bought the rights to World's library and some interesting things have appeared on his pricey Circle label.

These were all 16" 33 rpm vertical transcriptions when first released to radio stations who subscribed to the World Program service. Some of the tracks made it to Decca commercial recordings, many of the tracks had restricted use agreements and never crossed over to public market.Im sure some of the original transcription tracks made it to 78 and lps since Decca owned World and the library masters.A lot of transcription library material made it to lp via "Hindsight" and "Sunbeam" label discs. Standard and MacGregor licensed a lot of their libraries i know.Standard transcription pressed custom 78rpm colored vinyl 10"/12" discs for Seeburg background music juke boxes.The last uses for some of the transcription libraries was radio stations who used their fm side to provide broadcast background music like Muzak. There were 2 stations in Los Angeles KRKDfm used their Associated library and KUTEfm used the MacGregor material. KPOL one of the first to venture into easy listening used Standard library material initially.Hope this helps dnelsonward--- On Thu, 3/10/11, Roger Kulp wrote:> From: Roger Kulp > Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] was Turnover and rolloff curves/ now World artists> To: [log in to unmask]> Date: Thursday, March 10, 2011, 7:37 PM> Were these 16" or 12" records?
