<p class=MsoNormal>I never had any real problems with the Scotch 179/379 brown
stock on Andy Williams <span class=MsoHyperlink>LBC</span>'<span
class=MsoHyperlink>s</span> using the <span class=MsoHyperlink>AVR</span>-1.
And this went back to show # 1 in 1962. Each make of stock has predictable
issues and our experience base automatically steers us in the preparation
process. I have seen some very butchered up transfers out of another local
house done in the 80'<span class=MsoHyperlink>s</span> where apparently someone
either wasn't watching the transfer or just was wasn't technically proficient.
We know what to expect with regard to some <span class=MsoHyperlink>LBC</span>
recordings from certain network facilities. It just comes with the job. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I never had to bake Scotch 179/379 stock as it'<span
