[78-L] Capitol Recording Disc

[David Lennick]

Had to be earlier than the 80s..I was seeing Capitol/AudioTape in the 70s and 
one box I just checked says "copyright 1970".

I've had a few of those light flexible Capitol home recordings go by, with 
recordings from .. late 40s/early 50s? can't recall.
