[78-L] Facade

[Mike Harkin]

When did Drecca UK start up?  Symposium reissue gives 28 Nov 1929 as rec
date and mxx MA 392-7A / 317-7A / 723-2A / 319-7A. Which seems a strange
sequence for a single day....  Are -7A and -2A take nos.?  I can see how those
tongue-twisters might have took some taking

Mike in Plovdiv

Horrible. Boxy. We added a bit of discreet reverb for the Living Era Classics 
issue a few years ago.
