[78-L] Record Research, wuz Re: Collecting hobbies and their prices...

[David Lennick]

Don't get me started on reading these old Record Research issues, okay? First 
one I looked at (#27) has a discography, BURL IVES ON COLUMBIA RECORDS Part 1 
which I sure could have used a few years ago if I'd known I had it. Naturally I 
don't have the issue containing part two (my stash jumps from 28 to 35 since 
the "complete" run I was bidding on about 12 years ago was cherry picked). I 
also see Barry Hansen doing a blues column in these issues. He's better known 
as Dr. Demento.

Can anyone tell me what is causing holes to appear in the back pages of some of 
these magazines, by the way? Something in the paper that disintegrates at 
certain temperatures or degrees of moisture or dryness? I first noticed this 
some years ago when the picture sleeve of Kitty Kallen's "I'm A Little Teapot" 
developed holes in a pattern that followed the shape of the record.
