1936 must have seemed a horrible year to so many, the death and abdication of Kings and the destruction of this beautiful piece of architecture, with the war drums rumbling in the distance and getting ever closer. A very modern year.
I only got the later pressing of this (a Japanese pressing!) and didn't realize that the pressing actually employed a dubbed master. Can you tell me the original matrix number for these two sides?
The original matrices were WAX1595-1 ('And the glory of the Lord') and WAX 1597-1 ('Behold the Lamb of God.') The matrices were rerecorded on 15 September 1931 as WAX1595-2DI and WAX1597-2DI, and the original masters were subsequently rejected on 22 September 1931. That, at least, was the position for the English releases. It might not have been the case for releases in other countries. I'm not sure if there was an Australian release, but if so I wouldn't be surprised if the stampers were derived from the original masters. I suspect the perceived problem might have been the long wait for the music to begin which resulted from the 'blind' nature of the recordings. Presumably, the music starts after just a few revolutions in the case of the transfers.
@@vintagesounds3878 I have in my possession a pressing of this recording... On the "And the glory of the Lord" side, at the beginning, there is an unusual amount of empty groove. Also, at the end of it, applause can be heard, just like on this one. Thus, I do believe that I possess the original, and not the re-recorded version. I thought of digitising it, when I found your transfer... I still might.
@@vintagesounds3878 And you did a very fine job indeed! I am fascinated with these early live recordings... and by the fact that we can glimpse the acoustics of the Crystal Palace... It is a great loss for humanity, that such a work of architecture was destroyed.

Thanks. I'll check it out!

@@nikolazekic549 I seem to recollect that this had quite a bit of silence at the start: but it's been a while since I transferred it.

@@nikolazekic549 Yes, they are certainly fascinating!
