[78-L] Best way to clean 78s

[David Lennick]

There's one version of Uncle Tom's Cabin which goes out of its way to be as 
filthy as possible. This is the one with piano accompaniment. There are a 
couple of others (one by "The Odele Sisters" if I'm recalling correctly) that 
are also pointlessly filthy.

And then there are those Sonora Victor pressings, which nothing will clean up...
