PATRIOTIC TO WAR, VIETNAM, OIL, NIXON, COLD WAR, Etc. Frank Merrill/SATURDAY NIGHT RECORDS 848 Dodge Avenue, #PMB-112 Evanston IL 60202 fmerr4illjr@4gmail.com (REMOVE both of the 4’s) THIS DOCUMENT is designated as: 1e--war IMPORTANT: PLEASE ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR ADDRESS ON YOUR ORDER. Not doing so can be dangerous, because I can NEVER assume that your address didn’t change since your prior order. NOTE: I NOW FILE PATRIOTIC RECORDS IN THIS SECTION. PATRIOTIC SECTION ARE LISTED FIRST! I’ve filed them in Novelty, and more recently in Miscellaneous, in the past. I feel they belong here, as war DOES generally involve entire nations. For that matter, there are enough records (such as hawkish Vietnam records) that fall into both subsections. SUBSECTION ONE: PATRIOTIC 45RPM singles (and CDs): PATRIOTIC GRAB BAG: I’VE GOT TOO MANY TO LIST!!!! 25 different records (not listed here) for $9 (U.S. orders only) of 50 records for $15.
