It is a sad day over at the 78-L and I am not going to cross-post what 
is over there, but just give you heads-up.  Richard Sudhalter passed 
away last night.  And there is now confirmation that the Universal vault 
fire consumed the entire Decca masters from the 30s thru the 50s.  
Metal, tape, test pressings, and paper.

There's no justice in the world.
