[78-L] early days of KPRC

[David Lennick]

I don't even know if it's a legitimate term, but I apply it to any vinyl 
pressings that are off-round and impossible to center. Sometimes one side is 
fine and the other side seems to have two "high" sides, so I don't think the 
problem is uneven cooling or too-quick removal from the press.
