NOTE: The audio for the LAB-11 LP was recorded using three microphones: one stereo microphone for overall coverage, a touch-up microphone on the piano, and a Telefunken 251 for the acoustic bass. All microphones featured capsules manufactured by AKG. The signal directly fed the lacquer master disc cutting tube amplifiers, hence “direct to disc.” Recording direct-to-disc meant that an LP side, consisting of four to five songs, needed to be recorded in its entirety in one take, without mistake, with a short pause between songs to allow the lathe operator to advance the cutting head for the next song while still recording live. The audio appearing in this video is from the CD-900 CD, which was recorded in parallel using a two-track master tape and transferred directly to the digital compact disc master.
NOTE: The 1933 piece, "Moonglow," was written by Will Hudson, Irving Mills and Eddie DeLange. The 1955 piece, "Theme from Picnic," was written by George Duning with lyrics by Steve Allen and is from the film of the same name. "Moonglow and Theme from Picnic" is a 1956-released medley of both "Moonglow" and "Theme from Picnic" orchestrated by Johnny Warrington which became quite popular, especially in an instrumental recording by Morris Stoloff, conductor of the film version by the Columbia Pictures Orchestra.
