However, I was surprised to see the following: "..........she raised the arm of her record player and gently lowered it onto a 78 rpm vinyl recording. The McCosh Hall classroom filled with the slightly staticky sounds of a 1923 acoustic recording of "Yes! We Have No Bananas" performed by Billy Murray." ----- now, has prof. Thompson really had access to a vinyl pressing of this record? Or is it just one more example of the sloppy notion that everything black must be vinyl - that's what our parents had. By the way, one of my versions is German: "AUSgeRECHnet BanAnen", and it is shellac-based. Kind regards, George
