I have always read and heard that the official playback speed for Brunswicks of that period was 80 rpm, with the usual variation qualifications for the speed of individual discs. However, I could be mis-remembering and corrections would be good to have.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Brunswick 78 playback
Hello all,
A pretty simple question. What's the proper playback RPM for
late-acoustic
(c. 1923) Brunswick records? I have Google-d to no avail. They
sound fine
at 78 RPM but I'd appreciate any suggestions. Bought a batch of them
and am
digitizing them just for listening purposes.
Thanks very
much,
Jeff Martin
