[78-L] Monroe paste over label solved

[David Lennick]

Some stinker pasted a fake label on a beat-up lacquer I found in a junk pile. 
I'd forgotten that the label had probably originally appeared in the National 
Lampoon (I occasionally find those wacky MAD labels stuck on 45s as well). I 
was pretty mad when it didn't turn out to be a dub of a Lenny Bruce routine.
