Tue. 8/4/09 7:55pm From: inquiring minds

little known fact -- those beatles songs tom scharpoling likes are now much closer to the 78 era than they are to the present

Tue. 8/4/09 9:40pm From: Ruy de Lima e Silva

It's a shame you don't put the year of the recordings. A must for any collector, Codge. You just seem not to take your job as seriously as in those ol' KDKA-Wilson days!
