True enough...and I might mention Victor's occasional "--Fox Frot,"  
"--Tox Trot" or even "--Fox" without a Trot at all. Also saw one with  
"Fox Tro" missing the last 't'.

It's not a 78, but I just got a copy of The 4 Seasons' "Big Girl's  
Don't Cry" [sic] on Vee-Jay...and there's "Pipeline" by the Chantay's  
[sic] on Dot...

Take care,


Joe
