Hi
I've been researching the deadwax info of the original OJC's by Fantasy starting in 1982. All analogue chain reissues of Riverside, Prestige, Contemporary, ... Initially you find a faint GH inscription, which stands for George Horn, the mastering engineer at that time for Fantasy's reissues. But at a certain point (1986?) you only get a big capital G followed by an I (?) or just a vertical line, at least in my collection (Byrd at the Gate OJC 262) or Bill Evans 'Interplay' OJC 308.
Does anyone know what this means?
Does anyone know when GH disappears from the deadwax and is replace by G (followed by vertical line)?
And what does it mean: is this the border between analogue chain and entrance of digital transfers or not? I'm incline to believe it might be, but need more assurance.
So, be so kind and check the deadwax info of your OJC's.
Many thanks
Dirk
