[78-L] Now's your chance, boys and girls

[David Lennick]

The Spitooney set is one of the most common..although I've never found it in 
the box. In an album, a couple of times..as individual discs, a couple of 
times..and the Rhapsody issued separately, once.

Some Vogues are even worth listening to. The Study in Blue isn't one of them. 
One that is is Enric Madriguera's "Minute Samba" which has a neat little fiddle 
& guitar chorus reminiscent of Grappelli & Django.

Let's cool our thoughts for a while, but BOY, would I love to own the phonograph! In this life, NEVER say never...and the seller will ship from Switzerland, is it? SERIOUS thoughts of ill-packing possible...broken discs...etc. I own one of the sets...by Phil Spitalny and his All-Girl Orchestra...in the original "box". I paid the lavish price of (drumroll please....) $2.00. EXCELLENT condition...no scratches or scuffs. The illustration work on that set is incredible, ESPECIALLY on "Blue Skies".
