[78-L] Fred Waring Christmas Album

[Jeff Sultanof]

David,

With regard to Decca, I am partial to their EP configurations during the
early LP days. I have no idea what they were pressing their LPs on, but I
once won complete sets of two Victor Young LPs on EP and the sound was
glorious (yes, they were pressed on vinyl). One of them subsequently was
issued on Mike Dutton's Vocalion label, but the other one .....(well, I
still have my tape).
