[78-L] Catch of the Day

[David Lennick]

The real "find" for me was the Timely brochure (actually one page, folded 
twice). I have "Rise Up" and one other of those New Singers discs (The 
Internationale, I think)..of course they're all in the Bear Family box (what 
isn't?).

Funny thing..yesterday, nobody touched any of the lefty stuff. Last month I 
could have sold 3 copies of "6 Songs for Democracy". Yesterday they were all 
bidding for Billie Holiday, the two Columbia albums as well as a few odd 
singles. Also those "calliope" records I found last week..went for ten times 
what I paid for them.
