[78-L] help req on a few 78s....

[Taylor Bowie]

Julian is correct.  These days,  some of the best relative bargains I find 
are of English dance band records,  few of which I ever even saw offered 
back in the 60s and 70s when I first started collecting.

One example of  a drop in values I've seen are for Hit of the Week records. 
With the exception of the real rare ones (mostly the earliest issues) they 
now seem to sell for very little,  sometimes in lots for barely a buck each. 
Plus the internet and eBay have shown how common they still are.
