[78-L] Jay Records 10-inch LP - Jack Meltzer - Merit Music

[David Lennick]

The Etting was definitely issued, although my copy doesn't have the jacket. 
Very echoey. But then so was Columbia's release. And my copy of the Fields has 
NO number on the jacket and is numbered WCF 1 on the labels. Neither jacket nor 
labels say anything except "Temperance Lecture", ignoring "The Day I Drank a 
Glass of Water" and the sides aren't even joined. Matrix numbers are MM1-LP and 
MM2-LP.

I didn't know until now that this was Meltzer's label! Or was only the Fields 
issue from him, given the matrix numbers?
