[78-L] Fading sounds [fwd]

[Royal Pemberton]

I heard one side of the 12" extended-play on one of the Nauction/Dismuke
specials....it was both sides of 2181-D although they'd dumped out of
'Lonesome road' just before Ted's spoken 'I'll be on the front door going
out'.  A couple of seconds of silence, then the flip of the 10" record,
'Dinah'.
