  1. Hi, could you tell me where I can listen to the transfer of Elgar 2 from the 78 set? I would like to know how the producers managed movement breaks.

    1. Not sure unless a Japanese 78 site (Goody ??). Unfortunately I don't have this 78 album (but 2x of Symphony 1). There are, as suggested, some overlaps between 78 sides; but anyone transferring (M O-T? - Griffith/Crimp etc) will 'join-them-up'.
