Fascinating recording technique that I never knew existed..... how much of this was done? And what's the opinions on any difference in sound quality?

I have the Thelma Houston album. Fantastic. But then she could sing the yellow pages, and it would still sound fantabulous! Paulo xxxx

There have been thousands and thousands of Direct-to-Disk recordings made over the decades, and is a process that predates magnetic recording tape.

I find nothing particularly superior about these recordings, and they tend to sound bright. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_to_disc_recording
