Most notedly Carl Kendzioria's Behind the Cobwebs.  Eventually Lenny 
continued with Record Changer reprints after Carl's untimely death.  I 
understand that there was a little overlap in publishing the two 
magazines, but Record Changer was dying as Record Research was being 
started.  I thiink RC ended in 57 and RR started in 56 -- but I might be 
wrong.  Cary?
