Re: [ARSCLIST] Late 78's--was: regurgitators

Different story..that's a Music Library disc, and those (like Chappell, Boosey 
& Hawkes etc) were issued on 78s till 1968 in some cases. These were only for 
broadcast and production use, and their superiority on 78s and ease of cuing 
(as well as the ability of a producer to take one disc out of the library and 
use it instead of tie up an entire LP) speak for themselves.
