[78-L] Beetle Bomb - or whatever it is

[David Lennick]

I always spell it Feetlebaum because otherwise some purist would pronounce 
Feitlebaum as FITELbaum. But I think Feitlebaum is correct. The reissues of the 
original 1947 recording became so muddy with echo and EQ that it sounded more 
like an F sounded more like a B and the United Artists reissue of the Liberty 
recording DID spell it Beetlebaum.
