Thanks. I'll search for those titles, but I do remember that Mom   
   bought LP's with a dozen songs on each one. I also remember an   
   occasional treat to myself of a large bag of potato chips for ten   
   censt, a 16 ounce bottle of soda for fifteen cents and a package of   
   Hostess cupcakes for a dime. That and my comic book and I was in   
   seventh heaven. But then I also remember gas for a quarter a gallon!
