In fact, I discovered this side quite by accident; I originally bought the
record simply to fill a "gap" in my "ef78rem" project. Played the A
side, which is typically routine...then turned tt over to hear the B
side...and was pleasantly surprised to say the least...! NO idea why
the house band was "turned loose"...and wonder if it ever happened
again...?!
