[78-L] Lang Worth oddity

[David Lennick]

I got lots of those. Play them with a 1-mil stylus no matter what the labels 
say..they aren't too bad. As far as I know, they're all reissues from early and 
mid 40s. I've had one by Fats Waller, lots of Tommy Dorsey, Maxine Sullivan, 
Claude Thornhill, Little Jack Little etc.

They look like the 1940's pressings and even have the old style sleeves but the labels say "Collector's Items" and have little blurbs about the bands. The stash was all oft-reissued dance band material so the only one I bought was Claude Thornhill's "Portrait of a Guinea Farm." It was only a buck. Pencil notations on the sleeve show playdates 1964-5. Any of you radio guys encounter these?
