...And it very well may be an urban legend, was when he supposedly read his cue cards and said something like, "Dat was the fabulous Lennon sisters. And now a couple of wonnerful tunes from World War I" (Which he read as "eye").
I don't have any of the Sheffield LPs, but I sure would have bought one for $5. I did find a clean Casino Royale LP at a flea market for $1 I'd have to go through my LP collection to get an accurate idea of what I have as far as audiophile approved goes, but off the top of my head, the previously mentioned Cat Stevens albums, a Classical "Percussion Music" LP, and one I'm actually not sorry I bought, Dwight Yoakam's Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room.
By the time CDs rolled around you'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but no. I'm looking at the "World's First Direct-To-CD Recording...Dick Hyman Plays Fats Waller" even as I type. That CD hasn't seen the light of day in probably thirty years.
