[78-L] Young Operatic Collectors?

[Robert Godridge]

I'm 28 and care about early opera records, enjoy listening to them,
but don't collect them. What I do collect, however, are ballad singers
and stuff in English, also light opera. I mostly collect general
acoustic popular records, jazz and classical instrumental stuff.
