[78-L] Scroll label

[Taylor Bowie]

Hmm...so much for the rarity angle!  I don't want to stray even more off 
topic,  but...why did they leave it in the catalog like that?  Didn't anyone 
notice or complain?

As to DL's original question,  I also seem to recall a Mark Andrews acoustic 
reprinted on a scroll...at least I think it was acoustic and I know it was a 
scroll.
