What, no Patti Page? Rats!! I guess I'll have to find more of them on 
Ebay if they ever turn up some day like the one I recently bought 
did. Found a 2 CD Cocktail Hour set from Columbia River Entertainment 
through Amazon so at least I have the Lang-Worth tracks she did to 
listen to while I wait for the 8" or 16" discs to turn up on Ebay.

What are some of the blue label collector items your hanging on to for awhile?

Oh & if I had the funds (sadly I don't) I'd take the 400+ discs your 
offering, give them a listen, keep the ones I like & sell the rest 
for whatever price I could get on Ebay. Hopefully somebody will take 
them if not then take up that dealers offer. Maybe he will put them 
up on Ebay for others to enjoy.....
