[78-L] Archive - Collector - do you have Apollo 1067 ??

[Thomas Stern]

I suspect that there are errors in 78discography, but one can't tell for sure unless
we have the actual records.  
 Billboard lists 1064-1066 for Connee Boswell. 
  
 Perhaps anyone with Apollo discs could check that range on 78discography....

Thanks, Thomas.

I'm seeing a few Billboard listings showing it as 1067. Too bad it didn't 
chart, or Whitburn would have been another source. Are we sure it isn't the 
Connee Boswell entry that's incorrect?

I know I have ONE Gordon MacRae Apollo but would have to look through a few 
thousand discs to find it.
