==================
When we refer to "crap" are we talking about the contents or commonness 
of them? As far as jazz 78s are concerned, many of the best ones are the 
commonest. It's only things like Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, Clarence 
Williams's Blue Five etc. that command high prices. Other high price 
items are not necessarily of great musical merit.
