Hi, writing to the groups if anyone can help,

I've always wanted to provide a 78 for a film production, almost 
achieved it some years ago (another story), but a request this week left 
me stumped.

Those of you in the UK may have a chance here, though it's not the music 
they want..... and of course they haven't thought what the label should 
be......

Anyway please contact Gill in UK if you can help, that's a UK mobile 
phone no. there:
