[78-L] Clamp them records down,durium chevrolet

[Ron L'Herault]

I'm surprised no one else has answered. "The Columbia Double Disk Record
twice the music for only a little more than the cost of a single face
record", or something like that.  There were three different Columbia
demonstration records, if I am not mistaken. I think the first one was free
and later ones were sold for a nominal fee (e.g. $0.25).  I've got at least
two of the three and maybe all of them.  I don't think they are terribly
rare.

I have an interesting old Columbia promotion record with a white banner 
across that says,
"Special Price for Advertising Purposes only" 25c.
On the face side, the recording goes nearly to the normal sized label 
with a very thin run in. The song is, "Good Night Little Girl, Good 
Night", by Henry Burr. On the reverse side the label is oversized and 
the short recording is a demonstration, with a short piece built 
starting with one instrument and adding one at a time until a full 
orchestra is heard, along with a sales pitch about the quality and 
durability of Columbia records. The label is half the size of the record.
Has anyone else seen this or any like it?
