[78-L] Asch release

[David Lennick]

The Stinson pressings are almost always very noisy. And the Stinson and Asch 
names are interchangeable once Stinson took over the catalog. I have a set of 
JATP Volume 1 with three different label names and styles (1 per disc).

Matrix numbers are often a mess, sometimes scratched out and rewritten, so two 
with the same number is entirely possible as well.

I hadn't listened to this set yet but when I looked at it I noticed there were two songs with the same matrix number, 511.  Anyway, the set visually is in E condition but listened to a couple sides and they are very noisy pressings.  Is this typical?  Maybe a different sized stylus would help.
