The Art Tatum Legacy Olympic Records Stereo LP 7120 LP Columbia 360 the centering pin is missingI just cleaned this double album on my VPI 16. 5 record cleaner and then played it on my Rega Planar Three. This is a historical record, originally recorded in 1939 on shellac. The pressing itself is very quiet and that is discerable between pieces. There are no technical faults with this pressing and any faults come from the source 78 records in this case. It is a faithful transfer of the 78 sources and, as such, sounds about as good as 78s ever do.
