I actually found two in the same week! The first was one that a collector
friend had. He told me he would sell it, then changed his mind... it had a
small bite out of the edge anyway, but I have always wanted that record and
never thought I would find one. Needless to say, I was disappointed at not
getting it.
I just happened to type the title into eBay and "voila" - a listing for "A
night at the Biltmore" and in perfect condition. Luckily, my bid was the
highest, as not many people were watching and bidding - just luck.
