I've always been a firm believer that the world would be better off with fewer red-label Columbias in it! :D

I was thinking in terms of Evan Williams; plus shooting a bunch of them would make the remainder rare and valuable, something their musical content doesn't do.

We can listen to "Istanbul" on the HMV 102 while shooting copies of "Standing on the Corner!"
