I DO like Bing and Frank... although I prefer the earlier Bing of the 20s and 30s with that vibrant style.
Then there was the stuff with Gus Arnheim:

Back on topic. Once you rub the WD40 into those plastic records they play more than just once. I wonder what "lubricant" stays or gets imbedded in the grooves. It certainly isn't audible on a Victrola reproducer. Ain't much I care to listen to on 50s plastic 78s anyway (-: Sounds like
"Your Hit Parade" with Snooky Larson. Even a 2 year old musician knew that was crap.
