[78-L] Cecil and Sally Radio Transcriptions - One last question - How Many?

[David Lennick]

A couple of things. They'd probably have produced enough discs so that if one 
broke, a backup would be at hand, and if they pressed 53 copies and one day 
Station 54 wanted in, they'd have a problem.

Also, laminated records couldn't be part of the regrind program, although it's 
possible that the discs were to be destroyed after broadcast in any case. Or 
returned. Or bicycled to the next station.

Still haven't found my Sally & Cecil discs..found one 33rpm disc of Gus Mack, 
the Funny Paper Man from 1936 though. Sides 1 & 3. Too bad.
