Btw, one of the fun facts I learned on my two visits to RTI was that in the 'good old days' of record-making, the regrind at many American plants included the RECORD LABEL — a hole was not punched before the vinyl was recycled. No wonder why those old US Angel records from the 1970's sounded so marvelous, i.e. it wasn't just the petroleum crisis.
