[78-L] Al Jazzbo Collins Brunswick Record Sleeve

[Geoffrey Wheeler]

These recordings for Hip Kids are great fun! When the stories first 
appeared in Down Beat, they caused a great sensation among my friends 
in high school. I had shared my copies of Down Beat with them. Some 
even bought the records, although I didn’t at the time. Later, I 
acquired the Jazzbo Collins with sleeve, and in 2007 while in 
Stratford, Canada acquired Brunswick 80231 with Steve Allen narrating 
“Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” I would 
say CDB was lucky to find an intact sleeve for the Jazzbo. Brunswick 
touted Brunlite as being “unbreakable Under Normal Use,” but then isn’t 
every 78?
