[78-L] R Johnson auction

[David Lennick]

Hey folks, we're talking about a dealer who's carrying on one of the most 
reliable and above-board auction lists, the late Mike Stewart's Green River 
Records. Mike once apologized to me because he felt he'd over-graded a record 
(worth about six dollars)..the disc was still near perfect but he'd missed a 
sticker on the label or something very minor. If the son intends to stay in 
business, I don't think he's going to be pulling fast ones.
