Speaking of the record biz, today I got a shipment from an eBay seller: the NEW, REMASTERED cast album of Hello, Dolly!, packaged in a cardboard Digipak sleeve, with a skinny "historical" liner booklet, and an interview with the wizened battleaxe Carol Channing, and it allegedly sells at retail for $18.98. I paid $7.00 ($4.00 plus $3.00 for shipping). It's made by a Bertelsmann whatisit called Arista Associated Labels, which is another way of playing "Taps" to classical music (it's made under the RCA Victor brand -- remember RCA Victor?). Nothing wrong with the record biz, right, LEGENDARY DAVIS?
