[78-L] Schwann Catalog(ue)s

[Cary Ginell]

I can narrow it down even farther than that. I have the November 1952 issue, which still is titled "The Long Player." The next one I have in the series is February 1953, which has "Schwann" at the top of the cover. This means that the change happened in either the December 1952, or the January or February 1953 issues. I'll bet they made the switch with the January issue.
