Hi folks:
I've been working on a technical oddball. It's a Regent record, postwar,
a pop version of the "Sabre Dance" by Don Henry's Harmonica Trio. The
oddity isn't in the performance -- there were other pop recordings of
this warhorse -- but the recording itself. As far as I can tell, it was
recorded with no low-frequency pre-emphasis at all; I got the best
playback with flat EQ in the low frequencies, and a 1st order HF rolloff
at 6kHz. That's a curve I would associate with an acoustical recording,
but this was unmistakeably electrical and postwar. Anyone run into a
similar situation? According to Wikipedia, Regent was a sister label to
Savoy.
Peace,
Paul
