[78-L] Started buying 78s

How miserable is "miserable"? What I hear on Harlequin HQCD 100 isn't too bad. 
Slightly dull top end and a couple of audible edits, but I've heard much worse

One could listen to 78s in a booth in those days, I started buying used records when I discovered that the Salvation Army wasn't a military organization.  It was at the Hempstead NY SA that I met Bob Colton (sp?) who introduced me to Record Research, hence my complete run of the mag.  Have never stopped buying 78s...... Don Chichester
