[Tango-L] Composer's names

[Laura V]

That's interesting. I had heard once, and I believe it was in a DJ 
workshop, that bad copies of some recordings resulted in the last note 
being cut off, and in some cases the original versions no longer exist. 
Has anyone ever heard this or know whether it's true for some recordings?
