[78-L] Capitol's Prep Subsidiary

[David Lennick]

In the late 60s and early 70s I used to visit every record company in New York 
and ask for freebees. CBS (Columbia/Epic) was the most generous, RCA never gave 
me a thing, Audio Fidelity grudgingly parted with a copy of their Gertrude 
Lawrence album, Mercury and MGM came up with anything I needed..all of it stuff 
that wasn't being sold in Canada.
