[78-L] Tops and Top 10 and so on

[David Lennick]

By the way, I have this record..turned up right on top of the first pile I 
checked. Looks as if it was played on a wind-up and the B side (Graduation Day 
+ I Want You to Be My Girl) feels like sandpaper.

Note that it's Betsy Gay AND The Four Fellows, so probably no gender bending 
intended.
