[78-L] A "Goons" 78...?!

[David Lennick]

Interesting, in that THE GOONS as such were recording for Decca in 1956-57 but 
the various members were recording for other labels. I've had these two sides 
on lp (Dark Side Of The Goon) for years but never seen the original labels and 
didn't know about the "Goons Disc" designation.

I'll add this to my Goonography, which I'm saving for when and if the CD 
reissue business ever comes back to life, along with the planet Magrathea.
