[Dixielandjazz] Decca disaster

[Marek Boym]

Have you read the article, Stan?  According to the article, RCA destroyed
"priceless" masters of Elvis Presley.  While I don't care about Presley as
long as the ODJB and the  Morton and BG masters are safeguarded, other
people might have different ideas.
Cheers,
Marek
