  1. I just stumbled upon your blog- love the old Black & White series! They went much deeper than RCA's US releases (Vintage and Bluebird)but all of them had great sound quality. I appreciate what you're doing!

  2. Many thanks for your support Drizzz :-)

    I am having to sell my RCA Black & White's at the moment ... times are hard. They have been a great study tool for many years and I'll miss them.
