Who did the mastering?

[porcy62]

I just listened "Action" on a BN, NY pressing mono, and I had the bad idea to compare it to the Mosaic. I found the latest pretty dull and boring, in one word "disppointing". No clue on the booklet. On the dead wax there is "mastered by capitol" and "wally?".

'Wally' would be Wally Traugot, who did many of those early Conn vinyls.

Did you like his job? I am listening to Parlan's Mosaic right now, and Ron McMaster is better IMHO.

His name is Wally Traugott, mastering and lacquer-cutting engineer for Capitol Records' Capitol Mastering subsidiary. "Wally" is always credited in the runout grooves of the record, with MASTERED BY CAPITOL stamped in, and the "Wally" signature etched alongside. His LP masterings are highly regarded.

Thanks.
