Talk:William Paull (baritone)

Hayes EMI studio in 1902 ???!
There was no EMI studio in Hayes/Middlesex in Paull's lifetime. If the link really claims this (I haven't checked) they should be ashamed, given their lofty title!

The Gramophone Co. studio in these early years was in a first-floor room of Cockburn Hotel, 31 Maiden Lane, London NW1. There's lots of documentation for this (not least on sites directly associated with EMI and the producer/engineer who made Paull's records: Fred W. Gaisberg). There's even several photos of the recording room as it was then, with the piano and recording horn in place. To rely upon a single online source that gets this banal factoid wrong and not cross-check it is painfully naive, and I do hope that the rest of the Wiki entry does not similarly rely on laziness and sloppiness alone! Encyclopedia you call yourself? Didn't know that translates as "rubbish collection"!95.90.245.165 (talk) 23:51, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

PS: I have checked the listed source now: It turns out to be the generally reliable "CHARM" database, and NONE of their many entries for William Paull gives the recording location as "Hayes". They generally give no adresses, but the city is correctly "London" throughout. So whoever wrote that section of the article was either too dumb, too lazy, or too drunk to even READ! 95.90.245.165 (talk) 23:56, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
