[78-L] Most Prized Record

[Marie Lamb]

There's no doubt on this one for me.  It is Adelina Patti's
1905 recording of "Old Folks at Home."  It is not especially rare, and I
even have it on CD and LP along with her other recordings.  However, she is
a favorite singer of mine, and when I found this 78 at one of the Belfer
Audio Lab sales at Syracuse University, I was especially moved to see it was
one of the ones with her signature stamped into the shellac near the label.
No way would I want to part with this 78; I plan to move to smaller quarters
soon, and this is the first thing cming with me!
