[78-L] LP packaging question

[David Lennick]

I don't know why London loved this format, especially when they used it for a 
single or two or 3 lps in individual jackets (soft paper) which were always 
slightly too large for a comfortable fit. But London was a loosey goosey 
company anyway. Oversized fat jackets too high for the shelf, flimsy paper 
sleeves especially in Canada in the late 50s, albums that might have one number 
but three different titles or designs, albums that listed titles that didn't 
exist (check out the Fritz & Jacky tracks on side 2 of "The Third Man", 6 
tracks listed but only 4 on the disc), 78 sets that mixed auto coupling with 
manual side numbers (a Camarata set, the Mantovani Film Music etc)....

Angel put "Practical Cats" into a box (no airholes) but that at least had a set 
of illustrated liner notes.
