[78-L] inner sleeves on LPs

[David Lennick]

Speaking of use of records as plot devices, I was watching one of the old 
Columbos (Season 1) the other night, where a vital fact is that the murder 
listens only to classical music. Every time you saw him in his office or heard 
the car radio, there was classical music. And only one piece..Brahms Piano 
Concerto #2, 2nd movement. (Okay, so they also had a couple of seconds of 
Beethoven at one point.)
