Of course not. If they are proper 45s, they are made out of the
cheapest re-cycled vinyl and mastered by the tea boy.

And that's from the man who has never mastered a disc in his life.
So he should know:-)

So you considered pop single 45s in their heyday generally to be of the
highest quality, Iain?

They were intended for use on Dansette players and juke boxes.


And you are/were actually employed as a mastering engineer?

Yes. It was a part of the Decca training. I worked for two years
with senior cutting enginner Harry Fisher, under the auspices of
Cyril Windebank, chief engineer. I had my own cutting ID.
