Well, this is one publication I'd like to know more about! I bought it
at a record show, in a large loose-leaf binder; I think I have the
second through eighth issues...no idea where/how to find Vol. 1 No. 1
(or a copy thereof...) or whether there were any further issues...?!
It's a valuable resource...includes a Harmony-et al listing taken
directly from Columbia ledgers, and a number of other listings...

The comment was NOT intended to disparage the journal...simply to explain
why it might not be listed among "Discographic Periodicals!" Good ol'
"Record Research"...I'm still missing a number of the early issues, as
well as a lot of the later ones (Lennie fell over stone cold daid just
as I was planning to order my missing issues...?!).
Did we...or anyone in the discographic world...ever establish what
happened to the half-vast stock of back issues (or did LK just run
off copies as needed--which leads to the question of howcum he
didn't do that for the first 70-odd issues...?!)

pamphlets/usw., web-available...?!)
