[78-L] Marilyn Horne on Broadway

[David Lennick]

Seriously, I've never seen that label except for the Marilyn Horne disc, and 
that came from someone's auction list. Obviously not marketed in Canada. 
Remington lps (and Plymouths and their even cheaper cousin Pontiac) were 
popular in the budget racks, but mostly on lp. The children 78s were seen, but 
not the few pop 78s by people like Edythe (not yet Edie) Adams.

But who was Vic Corwin?
