[78-L] It's back and it makes threats!

[David Lennick]

I'm not a fan of those Royal Blues myself..more prone to lam cracks and oily 
surfaces. Some of the best albums I own came out of a college library a few 
years ago, in Geneva NY..they needed the space. Most of the stuff was from a 
Carnegie Collection and much of it was unplayed. And I'm sure it was going for 
something like $1 per 3 discs. The Bop Shop in Rochester alerted me to this 
sale, and they'd picked up a few nice albums which they tried to sell at $15 a 
set..5 years later they were still in the display case.

By the way, I don't think I have the 78 set of the Pathetique with Rodzinski, 
nor do I need it, since I transferred Rodzinski's own copy some years ago for a 
project that slowed down when a certain reissue label stopped paying for 
masters and couldn't understand why I didn't want to continue with it.
