Re: [ARSCLIST] Mercury Perfect Presence records

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Kohji! I would make a strong bet that "Jungle Sounds" (6030) by Carl Stevens was recorded in 
Chicago, most likely at Universal Recording. Does any listmember from Chicago go back far enough to 
have been in Universal Recording in the early 60's, back when Bernie Clapper ran it? Do you remember 
if they had 35mm mag-film capability? I'd think they would due to the large advertising business in 
Chicago, but I could be wrong. Universal and Radio Recorders do not surprise me since they both did 
plenty of sound-for-film work out in Hollywood.
