Title: Shellac records
Post by: Larry on June 23, 2015, 10:20:14 am
I ran across this the other week and wanted to post this.  Its a video showing how the shellac records were made in the forties.  Really cool.  I didn't realize how much plating was involved.  I would love to see the master room with all the shiny master records.

Neat video. I bet not many people have gotten to see that room.

Holy cow what a process.... who came up with all that... and I wonder if those Master copies that were to be preserved for all time still exist.
Very cool to see the high tech of the time... A lot of work to make a copy of a waltz...  love that era of music... Thanks for posting.
