Pure pleasure! Great sound too.

Nice, thanks. Good sound too. I'm trying to figure out what EQ was used for V-discs (I have several hundreds "raw" V-disc recordings on my harddisc). But I come to the conclusion that different settings were used... Can anyone give me some input on this? There is also a very nice youtube channel called "vdiscdaddy", that s has many V-Disc's on his channel.

Thanks for uploading this one!

I asked some folks who know about this and they confirm your conclusion:

"They were cut with whatever curve the different companies were using, meaning those that were cut by Columbia used their curve, those from RCA Victor used theirs, etc. Add in whatever was being used by the originating recorder, which could have been AFRS or one of the networks, or the original 78 being dubbed from. These records were played back on wind-ups in many cases, so just getting sound from them was goal #1."
