Well, this particular disc is a black etched one, instead of one of the latter discs, with the paper label.Inigo wrote: Mon Sep 09, 2024 5:38 pm
Maybe it's my ears... These voices tend to sound a bit sluggish tho me. It happened the same with a Gladys Rice record I have, NML 1002, singing Lullaby from Erminie and other song. NML records were pressings from other sources, maybe Plaza, etc. Anyway, this sounds slow to me even at 80rpm. Gladys was a soprano... there are sopranos who sound like contraltos, but this one sounded terrible at 78rpm even 80rpm. Another example of a beautiful Vocation I have by Nevada Van Der Veer .. The label is very beautiful, one of those gilded and pale blue and dark blue Vocations... But the sound is very slow. Terrible.
Also happens to me with certain blue Decca's of late 30s, as Andrews Sisters or Boing Crosby. Some of them I've found better at 80-81 rpm than 78, the voices more like in the films. Or the films are faster, or the records are slower....
