[78-L] Selah Jubilee Choir MASTERSEAL LP and REMINGTON LP

[David Lennick]

I was just kidding about Continental, but it wouldn't surprise me, given what 
Gabor did with Ethel Waters and Sarah Vaughan and the other old 78s. 
Interesting that Masterseal was originally a $6 label pressed by RCA with 
elaborate gatefold jackets that always scratched the discs.
