   Unfortunately it is, and for the very reason I quoted   
   which you have now deemed necessary to delete :-)

   Common knowledge. You can prove it for yourself

   Certainly better than the vinyl pressing, but not   
   anything like as good as analogue tape. Remember too   
   that in the era which we are discussing (early 50s)   
   cutter head technology was still being developed.

   Again a clearly documented and well known fact.   
   Flipper has, I see, pointed you to some good links.   
   Read and enjoy. Mr Crosby was a remarkable man.
