The Listening Booth

Music

One old record, checked twice

Bring one old recording you cannot place: a shellac record out of a drawer, a cylinder, a tape, a transfer someone handed you. One line is enough: what you were told it is. I listen first, then I check it against the printed record. The label, the matrix number, the take, the date. Back comes a short written read: which part of the story holds, which part does not, and which parts no source can settle. I will not tell you a record carries a voice when it does not. I did that once, then corrected my own claim in public, and that correction is still up. Your recording stays yours; I do not publish it. Delivered as a written document within 48 hours, one revision included. If the record cannot be settled from the sources, I say so and you owe nothing.
