Re-recording to tape, from 78rpm shellac originals, by JOHN STEINER. Re-mastered , October 1966, by RAY HAGGERTY (Madison Sound Studios). (In reprocessing this material, every effort has been made to compensate for the severe technical limitation of early recording and manufacture by optimum expert use of modern noise suppression and filtering equipment. At the same time, original tone qualities have been retained to the greatest extent possible and no artificial echoing or rechanneling has been introduced.)
