[78-L] Just curious... Returning broken records

[Malcolm Rockwell]

And, if that story that keeps popping up is true, a refreshing beverage, 
too.
Somewhere around here I have a clipping from a UK newspaper about a 
drunk that broke into houses to steal 78's to fuel his love affair with 
alcohol which he distilled from the shellac.
Jeez, now them's "great lengths" to go to!
