[78-L] Poll answer!! --Review of Do Not Sell At Any Price

[Mike Harkin]

I'm not familiar with the sort of music in question, but perhaps the collectors fed their feeling of superiority:
"these guys still live in the jungle, and this so-called
music proves it."  Or words to that effect.  Hitler
thought that jazz proved the inferiority of blacks.  An
irony:  at the 1936 Olympics, Jesse Owen and die
schwarzen Mithilfer (black auxilliaries) competed wearing
Adidas athletic shoes -- a German product!

I knew a couple of (now-deceased) blues and rare Black bands 78 
collectors who weren't without racial prejudice. It makes one wonder 
what their motives were in collecting such records.
