Stewart,

What a small world we live in - huh? I suspect that is my old copy of that
record. I sold Used Kids around 2000 lps in 1997. I still have a few
bazillion left, but after moving umpteen times in the last 2 decades I
promised myself that 5000 records was just too many. I did make a DAT copy
of that record and many more that I sold, but I don't think I've listened to
it since. BTW - I'm not from Columbus, I just happen to live here now.

That sale of records netted me a very nice 1954 Les Paul goldtop reissue.
Maybe I should sell some more?

"I Flew A Falcon" from that lp is a masterpiece.

Bobby
