Another "treasure" unearthed

Another recent find. In the Fall of 1962 (I think) I went to Des Moines to see Shelly Manne & his Men in concert. Afterwards I got a couple of autographs and spoke with Conte Candoli to tell him I really liked his Crown lp and mentioned it had been stolen from my dorm room. He said the label gave him a box of them to take on the tour and said I should come to their hotel and get a copy. I waited in the lobby for a while and then Conte and Russ Freeman came down and delivered the record and spent some time with me.
As you can see my younger brother added his signature to my treasure.

Maybe to give to DJs.

That's what I was thinking. DJs and bookers.

Or maybe as a medium of exchange to assist in procuring, uh…"creature comforts"...

I do like how Shelley Manne says "Hi", he doesn't just sign his name, he also greets you. Hi!
