[78-L] ^Grog back

[Michael Biel]

Seth Winner had told me about this turntable years ago.  I guess 
Columbia had been embarrassed to be using a ratty old Gates turntable 
for their re-issues (all the stuff from the 60s was done on that with a 
VR-II) and somebody probably found some left-over budget money and used 
it for this instead of funding 20 or 30 reissue albums with the money.  
Cave man mentality.  And this reminds me, I wonder what is happening 
with the project of streaming 10,000 acoustical recordings from the Sony 
archive by LC from the Culpepper Cave?
