Just as the ladie who’s friend and spouse did not return from this war wich in fact was not theirs… and who gave up on finding a new love….

She commented that these records were pretty rare. I never heard it: she always claimed it was lost, but later my mother said she had wanted it destroyed after she died and that her brother (my uncle) had done this. She mentioned that it was a black disc with a hand written white label. Apparently it had three holes in a triangle around the regular center hole.

That would resemble some other 78 rpm acetates I have seen. I would guess the holes are for the torque the cutting machine would need in plowing the groove, so to speak.
