I think that was a one off, since that occurred because I forwarded something from an email, added to it and didn't delete the prior heading. Check the heading on this one to see if it's correct.
Thanks for your concern.

See how it says "reply to" yourself? That is something only you can change; whether in your email program or on the yahoo site I don't know, but it is you, my friend, who can do it. As Smokey the Bear used to say, "Only YOU..."

As I recall, it was only in that year that the Westrex 45/45 stereo gtoove-cutting system was agreed upon as the industry standard for stereo records. Stereo LPs in the UK commenced the next year. Recording masters in stereo was begun on a sporadic basis by a few companies in 1953.

Some other companies did too -- particularly Capitol. The Victor singles could be either "standard play" (about 4-4-1/2" per side, like a 12" 78 single) or, beginning around 1954, "extended play" (circa 7 to 8" per side). (I have about 200,of the sets here, but no one seems to want any of them.) EMI and Decca issued many 7" classical 45 singles in the UK, many of them EPs (extended-play), in some cases titles that were never released on LP, and, indeed, some in stereo in 1958 and for a brief time thereafter.

> I own a fair number of UK HMV classical 7" 45 "EPs." Some contain musically fascinating things. However, the sound is sometimes so bass-shy -- due, I wonder, to the equalization used during the preparation of the masters? -- that there is virtually nothing audible below the violas and the high woodwinds and brass. And the triangle. Of course, less bass ensured a narrower groove-path, which meant more playing time on the record. Another reason to have flexible tone controls.
