[78-L] Newly-pressed Bix Beiderbecke 78

[David Lennick]

Meanwhile, I can think of a few records where the speed is deliberately changed 
at one point, for comic effect. Danny Kaye's "The Babbit And The Bromide" and 
Paul Nero's "Hot Canary" play normally up to a point, and then the remainder of 
the track is a 33 played at 78. This will probably lead to an entirely 
different thread (Mel Blanc's "Woody Woodpecker", Gene Carroll's Animal 
Records, The Chipmunks etc).
