Sounds as though Edward and Albert just volunteered to build a new phonograph show :) LOL. Luvit. I s'poze I deserved this, Dan. I saw it coming after I posted and it was too late! Hahahahaha! Be that as it may, what say we look into it, Al? It takes a committee to pull one of these things off. We'd have to start the ball rolling right away. A year is barely enough time. Who else would wanna help? I say, let not our sound be silence my friends, let it be nostalgia! (Chuckles) Who knows the radio club people? If anyone does, send me their contacts off list asap (I have a number for just one of these fellows and it has been a while since I've used it). I'll see what they think about it and I'll get back to y'all with their responses. Serious. Best to All! : ) Edward in Zigzag **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

I am assuming that the other labels (but exactly the same size as the Pathe's) is a client label in Fall River, Mass. and these are Pathe made as well(see my original thread). Are these records in fact Lateral Groove?, I assume that because they say "Pathe Actuelle" or did they have earlier vertical groove material on them? Also give me a tip on how to ship these monsters if I decide to sell a few.
