[78-L] Why I love collecting 78's

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

Yes I'm well aware of that & mine happens to be a first pressing & not one of 
the later pressings. That $6 find was just a very lucky day at least for me 
anyway. First pressing discs are almost always worth more than the later 
pressings of any record.
