A Collection of 5 MSR 45's
Recently, I began checking E-Bay and GEMM for MSR 45's with Bobbi Blake, the Grand Lady of song-poems, in hopes of getting some material in my own record collection as interesting as the songs I heard online such as "I Got a Record" or "Husband, Lover, Friend". Here are the MSR 45's I've gotten so far. There are 2 other singers in these records. 3 of the songs have fellow MSR legend Dick Kent.
- Contributed by: Sammy Reed
