[78-L] Clueless eBay listing of the week!

[David Lennick]

That label design had been out of use for about a quarter century and MGM 
itself had disappeared as a brand name in 1973..I wonder what the occasion was 
for this issue? And is it a ten-incher or what? Can't fault the guy for not 
knowing that it came out in 1977, though.
