[78-L] Things found in Buffalo yesterday

[David Lennick]

Nope, never seen it like this. Presumably the Canadian lp was nothing like it, 
probably just had a tombstone cover until the early 50s when it might have gone 
to a standardized front and back. At one point I had volumes 2 and 3 on 78 but 
I'm getting out of the "just to prove it exists" aspect of hoarding.
