[78-L] Willie Howard on Gala, was Re: Gala: different label styles, is it the same company?

[David Lennick]

I meant to say that I've never seen the Willie Howard on LP. I've had the 78 
set twice. The lp is advertised on page 4 of the November 1952 "Long Player" 
(in an ad shared with a label called Academy...no idea if they were owned by 
the same company, but it didn't look like two separate advertisements). Also, 
Howard recorded a couple of sides for Jubilee in the late 40s and these are on 
the "Allan Sherman & Friends" lp.
