NY Times: Morton J. Savada, 85, Seller of 78-R.P.M. Records, Dies

New York Times:

"Morton J. Savada, who lined the narrow aisles of his store in Midtown Manhattan with nearly a quarter of a million 78-r.p.m. records, offering devotees of King Oliver, Ma Rainey, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman the chance to hear the original sound of nondigital discography, died at his home in Harrison, N.Y., on Feb. 11. He was 85."
