[78-L] Synthetic Plastics LIVES!

[Royal Pemberton]

I was rather surprised in 1985 when I found a brand-new copy of the
1978 double LP BIG BAND JAZZ by Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass
(Umbrella UMB-DD4), and on the back of the jacket it stated it was
distributed by Peter Pan Industries!  It may have been a copy still at
the record store after all those years, as the records were those
quality thick German pressings....
