Thanks for the great info, everyone! Sounds like I need to get my hands on some 4M Everlastings pretty quick. Is there a resource online to check catalog numbers against years of issue, 2- or 4-minute, various series issued, various brands, etc.? I have a wonderful Humphrey recitation that Wayne Holznagel was kind enough to send me, BA 1608, called "Luke," that has absolutely stunning fidelity; you can hear every pronounciation of "s", "t", and "sh" just about as clear as if the man were standing in the room. I wondered what year and what series it might belong to, as I'd sure like to get a bunch more of similar sound quality.
