[78-L] Webpage about 78 by Capitol of Canada

"Charm Records", sorry..that was the Phil Spitalny label pressed here by Regal. 
And to clarify one point, I have "You Call EVerybody darling" on Regal so 
there's no sense to his displaying the Regent label as a Canadian issue.

Check his page on Capitol's 6000 lp series..some of those covers were really 
horrible.
