Fifteen 45 and 78 rpm singles from my collection, ripped and restored by me. Getting a listenable file from my copy of the Robinettes' Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town was the biggest challenge of the bunch--this 7" Robin Hood 78 had been played half to death, if not 3/4. But darned if I didn't get a C- file out of an F+ copy.

Little Lost Sax is really Mike Sharpe on sax with Bill Lowert doing the narration on the flip. Mike Sharpe had the original instrumental version of Spooky on Liberty. Bill Lowery owned Lowery Music Corporations in Atlanta, GA.
Calvin,
Thanks for the background!
Nice kickoff. Thanks much.
Thanks for your efforts on the Robinettes. Very nice.
Happy Christmas!
