I bought them both. Biff Collie and friends at KFOX in Long Beach California had a record shop in Long Beach. I never really knew who owned the place but it was packed with country music. As for Biff Collie trivia, Biff Collie’s first wife was the former Mrs. Floyd Tillman and his second wife later married Willie Nelson.
