[78-L] records for the blind

[David Lennick]

I found them in a thrift store in the late 60s..Talking Books often turn up 
there, frequently in the original packaging, sometimes unopened. Along with all 
the 4-disc Instant Language sets sponsored by your local newspaper, the Family 
Library of Great Music and all the other attic clearouts. The Scourby discs 
were on red vinyl at first, I think..as I say, I no longer have the discs.

Of course I never knew who acually pressed any of the actual NLS talking book records as it never said that on the labels themselves other than the letters APH&  AFB on the labels that I remember seeing.
