[78-L] Strange see-thru pink 78

[David London]

Hey, well done.  The label is a misprint as it definitely says Ramjan.  This
has been an interesting box of records.

I will have to start a file with links to the various sites you guys use to
find this stuff.  Seems Google just doesn't hit on some of these obscure
places.

Thanks.
