[78-L] Story of the LP (queries)

[David Lennick]

A promo rep brought one of the first stereo singles into the station in '68, an 
Al Caiola record on United Artists. US pressing. I'm pretty sure we didn't 
begin to see Canadian pressed stereo 45s till 1971, and again, a promo rep 
leapt in the air (they used to do that in those days) and handed me a new Elton 
John single. Big whoop, we were an AM station.
