<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm very new to the internet - approx three months
and at last have found a site that interests me. I have been following the
various 'threads' for the past few days and cannot wait to return home each
evening to read and learn more about this wonderful music.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an extensive jazz record collection and
some years ago I purchased the remaining stock of jazz records from a local used
record vendor - he was going to concentrate on the more lucrative area of old
popular music! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Amongst these records I found a number of glass
records. Some are of completely transparent glass and others of a stained
brown glass. They are all Long Play i.e. 33.3 rpm and all feature Eddie
Condon and his orchestra.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have often wondered if anyone could help with the
history and/or purpose of these recordings and if anyone out there can shed some
light on these, I imagine, fairly unusual items it would be
appreciated.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
