[78-L] What's an ERPI?

[David Lennick]

Those numbers appear in the dead wax with the prefix SS, and without prefixes 
on the labels. Just for further confusion, the Stein disc I have (numbers III 
and IV in the Contemporary Poets Series) has BXT 169 in the dead wax on both 
sides. 8067-6 is likely Making of Americans Part 2.
