[78-L] Early Supraphon LPs

[Brian Bashford]

Thanks David,
It's just that I was surprised that an Iron Curtain country, so soon after 
the 2nd World War, would have caught up with the technology. Not sure that 
I've seen a UK issue microgroove LP from as early as 1950.

Not too early at all..the WERM supplement lists Supraphon lps in 1951-2 (I
haven't checked the first supplement yet).
