c.1928-30's Inside Start 33 RPM 12" Record Boxing Story Radio Broadcast Transcription

• Label: Start Inside, Needle Pressure 4oz, "The Right That Nailed", Episode No.1 (No.2 on reverse side), 33-1/3 RPM, Lateral Cut, Copyright US and Foreign, American Transcriptions, Incorporated, 149 Powell Street, San Francisco, Cal.  This Transcription is leased for one Broadcast only and must be returned.  Use New Needle, Medium Tone Only.
• This record consists of the opening two series episodes of full cast radio play about a young boxer trying to advance his career coming into contact with a would-be manager con man.  The two episodes on this record open the story and advance it to an initial resolution but lead me to want to hear the next episode, which would be number three, not on this record.
• This record is played on a manual turntable in clockwise direction, but it plays "backwards", in that it is started on the inside and plays to the outside (inside start) instead of the normal outside-in direction.
• According to my research, I believe this record is made of shellac, rather than lacquer, but notice the needle directions given on the label and see the pictures to judge for yourself.
• This record is from the early Golden Age of Radio before record companies allowed their records to be played over the air, and radio stations used transcription subscription services to provide content in the form of these records.  This one was to be played once and then returned, so the station would have made it into an event with advertising to tune in to hear the next episode of the program at a certain time, not to be heard again.
• I could find no information online regarding American Transcriptions or Bill Hawley and Bob Donohoo.  The address given on the label was used by someone else as recently as World War Two, so that service likely was only active during those early years from 1928 into the early 1930's before the major labels established disc jockeys sometime around World War Two.
• I played both sides, and each side played without a skip and had tolerable surface noise in my opinion.  There is a lock groove on the outside of the record.
• Matrix info: Side A: ATI R# 1B Start (arrow pointing to lead-in grooves); Side B: RRB ATI
