BA> Perhaps.  However, buried in this pile of bakelite, vinyl and lacquer
BA> (and audio CDs ) are two brand spanking new copies of Kate Smith's
BA> 1938 recording of 'God Bless America' on the original Victor 78 rpm
BA> disks.
 
I think she's the only one who had Cole Porter's permission to sing it
anytime and record it anytime she wanted.  Something like that.  Right?
 
BA> Also some brand spanking new Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters 78 rpm
BA> Decca recordings from a bit later. *None* of those are going to get
BA> played by me.  I also suspect they're worth a bit more than I paid for
BA> them 35 years ago (a second hand store in Bellevue, NE, had acquired the
BA> back room unsold stock of an old record store that had closed years
BA> before, and I bought all of it for BA> a single price - if memory serves
BA> about fifty bucks for four apple crates full of brand new 78s).
 
You going to try to take it with you?
