[78-L] First Blue Wax Columbia issue?

[Taylor Bowie]

Thanks,  Han.  I think you may have hit it with 2718 being the last 
all-black issue.  It's the Harold Stern Orch of Isn't It Romantic...a great 
soupy sweet-band arrangement and as I once pointed out that the vocalist 
sounds like he just woke up from a bender and had slept in his tuxedo.  Not 
a record for all tastes,  but I love sweet bands!
