Default Continental echoes

I was reading Buddy Holiday's book where he mentioned the album given to Mark II owners along with a note (letter) from WCF. I then read what info could be gotten from the LCOC site. Does anyone have one of these?

Yes, I have one. I believe there were three different covers. Mine is signed by the artist.

Well, as luck would have it... (as they say) .. I was plowing through Craigslist (locally and countrywide) doing searches for Mark II, Contintenal, Lincoln etc under "Autos" and I got sloppy and just went with "All For Sale". What pops up is an ad for gobbs of old records from classical to swing (which I love too) but what caused the search hit was the Continental echos. Turns out the lady had the album from her father who was a Lincoln Merc dealer in Oakland CA in the 50's. I bought the whole load.
What I didn't know was the album is 12" and very brittle. I'll have to watch that.
Barry, same cover as yours but some tape keeps it's structure in tact.
