I ran across this; not sure if it's been posted before, but it's pretty good.

Very interesting. Thanks!
A really great read. BTW - I visited Walthamstow a few years ago. I wanted to see the building and hall.
Might anyone know the mastering engineer or engineers for Peggy Lee's 1953 and 1956 sessions for her album BLACK COFFEE? Thanks in advance.

I have always felt that Ken Wilkerson of Decca was the best classical recording engineer ever. He also did all the spectacular sounding Lyrita recordings. I did quite a few choral recordings and always used the Decca tree for them. Usually 3 Neauman u-47 mokes in omni directional pattern.

Great article; thanks for posting.
I was particularly intrigued by the stray photo (I didn't see any text related to it) of the Decca Tree set up in the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore for the Baltimore Symphony's recording of Michael Torke's "Color Music".
We all have the idealized notion that Britain is full of these eccentric geniuses who go around doing things like deciphering Linear B, building Austin-Healeys and making Linn turntables. Sounds like Decca had a few of them on staff.
Happy listening,
Jim
