[78-L] Collecting [was Record store closure]

[Kristjan Saag]

You can't drink gramophone records.
You can't listen to wine.
You can't read china.
You can't serve dinner on books.

But to play a few 78's after a delicious dinner, served on your 
favourite china, accompanied by a glass of vintage Claret, with a good 
book at hand...who would complain?
