[78-L] Your Mother's Son-In-Law - BG and Billie Holiday on Columbia Blue Shellac

[Taylor Bowie]

Wonder where Wicki came up with the theory that they only sold 300 copies of 
the original?  I've had mine since 1980 when I bought it from Russ Connor. 
I know I've seen it a dozen times at auction since then.

Anybody know the real story about # of copies pressed and sold?
