What I am/was asking about is a Design LP I owned almost half-a-century
ago! It was in my "first set of in-laws'" LP accumulation...I used to play 
it on
every visit, and they fanally GAVE me the dommed thing! Of course, it has
now long since been stolen...I have had ALL my LP's stolen at least twice...
and most recently (early 1997) had all my LP's sold off for c. $100 (this
was about 400 albums, inclusing a LOT of blues rarities and many UK
78-reissue LP's as well!).

Fortunately, I still owned the Design LP after I started collecting 
78's...and
was able to compare its musical content to ARC 78's I had acquired. The
LP tracks were audibly NOT the ARC 78 sides...though they seemed to
use the same arrangements! These were pop "dance tunes" from c. 1934...
a "sub-category" of recorded music which I still enjoy listening to...!

Now...does there exist on the Internet a database listing these old Design
LP's? This is an album I would very much enjoy RE-acquiring...!!
