Re: [ARSCLIST] Collectables Records

[Thomas Stern <sternth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The cd's look legit - carrying the special products logos and catalogue 
numbers.
I haven't seen any compilations from individual 78's - all seem to be 
direct issued
of early lp's, sometimes 2 per disc (the Lee Wiley being the 3 10" lp's)
Best wishes, Thomas.
