Re: [ARSCLIST] Scotch 200 box photograph -Del's Response

This list really is amazing. Thanks Scott and Del for the answer,
Richard and Angie for beating me to posting the scans, and everyone
else for the interesting tidbits.

I wonder if the Scotchmen ever did any recordings? It sure looks
like they did: The photo seems to capture the vibe of a session
perfectly.

I must say, my personal preference is the 200's blue background.
They sure had a good package designer over there in Minneapolis.
