And you can add a "Type IV!!" I enjoy the music on my 78's...and am VERY
interested in the related discographic-data compilations (and also try to
correct, improve and/or expand my DG!!)...but, above and beyond that,
I am basically a "DATA collector!" Thus, when/if I finally reach my life's
goal...the Complete Digital Database of "EFREM!!"...I shall be satisfied!

The basic idea is the perfection of a COMPLETE collection...?!
