[78-L] Loyal to the Kyser

[Taylor Bowie]

dl,  That record has been one of my biggest bugbears of all time...I've run 
through about fifteen copies trying to find one which doesn't sound like 
crap.  About a year ago,  one of you good  people sent me a really nice copy 
which is the best one I've heard yet.  I can't remember who it was...Don, 
was it you?  Greatly appreciated,  whoever it was.

David is right that the Columbias from '42 are badly pressed...don't know 
why.  I'm not too thrilled with the pressings of a lot of the post-war ones 
either,  but have found a few plastic d.j. copies which are nice.

So if anyone has Klean Kyser Kolumbias,  talk to me!


Taylor
