		What you hear with MINT copies of records recorded with analogue tape, is of course the addition of tape hiss and maybe just the slightest loss of crystal (and I do mean crystal) clarity.
		Mercury's, especially early issues with the Eastman Rochester Orchestra and some of the early, but wonderful Frederick Fennell recordings, have tape hiss that in today's world of `fl background' would bothersome people.
		The great thing about tape hiss is that it is always, on whatever record you're listening to, at the same frequency and your mind and ear have a way of tuning this hiss out of the picture.

		By the time the brothers signed with Cadence Records in March 1957 (a deal midwifed by music publisher Wesley Rose of Acuff-Rose), they were singing teenage playlets crafted by songwriters Boudleaux and Felice Bryant overlaid with randb rhythm patterns.
		Their records were among the most immaculately crafted and innovative of the era, a testimony to the brothers’ musical vision and to the skill of the Nashville session players who proved themselves adept at executing more than they were often given credit for.
		The responsibility for the downward slide in their career is usually laid at the door of the Beatles, but the brothers’ appeal was beginning to wane a year or more before the Beatles appeared.

		For nearly half a century, Verve Records has stood as one of jazz's most respected and influential institutions, playing a seminal role in the music's development as a recorded art form while working tirelessly to help expand its audience.
		After the Mercury deal expired, Granz set up independent distribution for Clef and set up a series of specialized subsidiary to release the artists he was signing.
		By now, long-playing records had replaced 78s as listeners' format of choice, and—thanks in large part to ten years' worth of ongoing Jazz at the Philharmonic releases—the public was accustomed to extended live performances on record.
