[78-L] 78-L Digest, Vol 59, Issue 7 - Gene Autry etc

[David Lennick]

Victor did the same with Dinah Shore, Vaughn Monroe, Perry Como, the King 
Sisters, Tommy Dorsey and others. These were 12 pocket albums. They also put 
out a 5-pocket album for children's records and one labelled "Musical 
Depreciation with Spike Jones" to be filled with your own selections.
