[78-L] Kaufman's Pagan Love Song on LP

[Taylor Bowie]

Thanks,  Malcolm...we've already established what the album notes say and 
what the Harmony issue is and the master number is etc. etc.  and I know all 
about Perfect/Pathe and the other labels but am still waiting for someone 
who actually owns the Harmony 78 to play it and tell me if it is electric or 
not.

Don C., I'm counting on you on this one!

Taylor
