From earlier this month, Howard H. Scott, developer of the LP, passes away.
Thanks, Mr. Scott, for blazing a trail that we at Spin-Clean, and millions of others, still walk on today.
[By the way, LP trivia buffs will know that the first catalog number for a ten-inch LP, CL 6001, was a reissue of the Frank Sinatra 78 rpm album set The Voice of Frank Sinatra; the first catalog number for a twelve-inch LP, ML 4001, was the Mendelssohn Concerto in E Minor for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 64, played by Nathan Milstein with the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra of New York conducted by Bruno Walter. These two albums are therefore the first long-players.]
