I'm a newbie to decoding matrix info etched into the deadwax on LPs so this is quite welcome information indeed! I'm always interested in learning more about the record cutting process and the equipment used since it can tell a lot about the potential sound of a record before you even play it. Thanks for stopping by and sharing that great knowledge! Cheers!Kaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692009511253252575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543833200543250572.post-62653727499885360242014-05-16T07:52:19.044-07:002014-05-16T07:52:19.044-07:00From about 1954 to Capitol's merger with Angel...From about 1954 to Capitol's merger with Angel in c.'57, some US Angel pressings were made by RCA pressing plants. Naturally, in those days sound quality would have been hit-or-miss . . . I have one such pressing, of an album of Israeli folk songs by Sharona Aron, whose vinyl was considerably noisier than a UK Columbia pressing I have of the same record (Angel, natch', cut out a few tracks from their release).<br /><br />For the most part, up to about the '70's, Capitol had a "master/slave" setup of lacquer cutting, with one lathe initiating the cutting and a second, hooked up to a rod, doing a simultaneous cutting. In April 1963, Capitol altered their codes, revealing three such setups (two mono, one stereo) in Hollywood and four (one mono, one stereo) in New York, thus: F/G (mono, Hollywood), H/J (mono, Hollywood), A/B (stereo, Hollywood), P/T (mono, New York) and W/X (stereo, New York); presumably, the lower letters in each setup were the masters and the higher ones the slaves. The F/G setup was taken offline in spring 1969, with the former letter reused for a Neumann VMS-66 solid-state lathe starting that fall, and G reused for another Neumann beginning in 1975. A/B was retired about 1974, and H/J kept on keepin' on to about 1982 or '83. In New York, P/T lasted to the end of 1971, when that studio installed a Neumann lathe which cut lacquers with an R code; the W/X setup remained until Capitol shuttered its New York outpost in 1975. (Prior to '63, all lacquers cut in Hollywood were designated by D, named after their former base of operations at the Don Lee studios in Melrose where they had been located between 1949 and 1956, and New York lacquers were all marked N.) The stamped 'MASTERED BY CAPITOL' first turned up on both Hollywood and New York lacquers towards the end of 1973.wbhisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270661237413315760noreply@blogger.com
