Re: [ARSCLIST] Robert Johnson recording equipment query
Indeed. The lacuer disc as we know it was introduced at the Fall, 1934
National Association of Broadcasters show. I have a copy of the ad.
No professional travelling the south to make recordings would have used waxe
blanks with their extra logistical requirements, i.e., an oven to heat them
and after recording, measures to keetp the results from melting. The
lacquer disc was less expensive and more efficient.
