The issued record is Brunswick #7667 "Oh Babe, Maybe Someday." Recorded Feb 1936. The record you see being pressed is not a real record. It is a mock up for the movie.

It isn't a real studio session but one specifically for the film.

Then why do many '50's recordings sound cleaner than '60's recordings?

Beautifull movie. I would like to know HOW they filmed and made the sync at the studio session.

Dont be so sure...Cutters got much more accurate in the 50's, but the problem was bad engineers that didnt have elaborate consoles to mix properly. By the 60's all the studios finally got consoles with eq's, and everyones sound came out better.

This is as far back as stamping goes back was on the 78 shellac. Before that, bands played into the big horn, and before that was the cylinder record which started the whole thing.

There were no tape recorders then so the music when straight from the studio session to the master. Notice they had two masters going simultaneously. Probably in case one got hosed up. And, yeah, dig that crazy mixing console, baby! Amazing they could do all that considering how primitive it was. Thank you very much for posting this. It answered some questions I had about how shellac 78s were made.

Makes you wonder how they ever cranked a product out of the factory in those days! Perfect video, nice to see what a studio looked like in those days. Those mixing desks were really compact back then ;)
