[78-L] Marilyn Horne on Broadway

[Han Enderman]

That's because you live in Canada. In Holland we think it's common.

For your Vic Corwin collection:

And note that this one by the Corwins expands the range given to 391.

Also, you can still bid (be fast) on Deacon Bob, also with Corwin:

Actually, were you sleeping or transferring all those years they offered these gems?
Many have been gone by now...

But who was VIC CORWIN ?

>>> Common? This is the only one I've ever seen! And it's as you described, with 
the name slanted and a pair of 16th notes over the "o". The cutting looks like 
late 40s Varsity (which was probably derived from Majestic reissues) or like 
A-Bell. My other question is, where did Obie get the Horne side from? Matrix VH 
125.
