The Davis info is maybe around (but possibly read that much later in a Gramophone article ?); and am pretty certain re: the Stokowski.
Sometimes the Quad was much better (Q4ASD Firebird/Ozawa - the ASD sounds threadbare, having been stripped of the rear channels).
Loudspeaker re-recording allegedly also affects Ashkenazy's solo Decca material (replayed in Kingsway Hall).
But the basic question is whether the re-recorded versions were the only 'master's' left?
