Those who frequent Goodwill, Salvation Army and other thrift emporia will
discover an all-but-innumerable collection of LP labels...often offering
material to which the most likely reaction would be, "How could they ever
have thought that ANYBODY wanted to hear this badly enough to pay
< whatever the price was, often <$1 > for this album?!"

And I'm not even counting discs like one containg a holiday concert
of the Hartsburg-Emden High School Band & Chorus...

BTW, is the "Musicraft" above related to the forties 78 label
of the same name?
