[78-L] Al Jazzbo Collins Brunswick Record Sleeve

[David Lennick]

The Brunswick release WAS pressed on good vinyl, in the US..Canada got 
shellacked. I found that Jazzbo record, mint, in the original sleeve, in 1959 
or '60 at Fred Roden's on Bathurst St. in Toronto for 59 cents (the US 
pressing). His Capitols were harder to find and probably never issued in Canada.
