RE: arsclist 19-3/4" Path Records ??

Yes I figures the High rpm was for a louder playback, this was a major
issue for public venues as I understand it.

 You bring up a good point. What would be the best way to pack and ship
this record so it would survive? I don?t plan on bidding on it, but
maybe someone else on the list might be.



Thanks

The groove width is VERY WIDE and shallow making them difficult to track
at
the 120 rpm. they were recorded at. They weigh a bunch, that's a huge
chunk
of shellac. They were all dubs. Pathe recorded on cylinder masters.

You might also ask why make such a large record? Not to play long, they
don't play that much longer than an ordinary 78. They were intended for
public venues where volume was needed to be heard.

I see this one is in South America. I hope the seller packs it well.
