[Jandek] Re: Album Numbering

[mark at mayfairrecordings.com]

My first band's first record borrowed the catalog number of one of the
favorite records of one of the members of the band... an old record. At
the time we had no idea why that would be a bad (and dumb) thing to do to
share a catalog number with another record but it was our little tribute
to that record we were referencing.

In light of this I have tried using google to see if 0739 is part of an
older record's catalog number.... so far only finding an old Holiday
record on RCA...seems unlikely this is the one...

Various Artists Happy Holidays-Vol 21 (True Value) RCA DPL1-0739

Anyway, just wanted to try and confuse things even more.
