[78-L] Frankie Yankovic on JOLLY

[David Lennick]

Methinks I'd better take a closer look at that load of polka 78s I let Tom at 
The Bop Shop talk me into buying for next to nothing.

As to that Beatles tape, it is definitely an original, on a 5-inch of RCA tape 
with a label inside signed by the announcer who recorded it (and who died 38 
years ago).

The holy grail of polka records? The mind boggles.
