[78-L] More educational 78's. When were these made?

[Glenn Longwell]

Peter Muldavin's book lists the dates as follows:
Both Ginn & Co. discs - 1951.
Audio Education - 1950 for "The American Singer" but only lists books 1-8
Follett - Albums 2 & 3 - 1949, Albums 21 & 22 - 1953.
 
This is a great book if you're at all interested in children's records.

Another batch of educational type 78's I have here. It all seems to 
be early elementary school (grades 1 to 3) material.

Ginn And Company Songs From Singing In Harmony Of Our Singing World. 
I seem to have 2 different series of these as follows & would like to 
know the years these sets were made if possible. Not that I collect 
these but a friend of mine (another record collector I've known about 
30 years)  gave me a big stack of educational 78's that he had 
gotten. He lives in Baytown Texas & mainly collects 45's.

Blue background silver text made by RCA. One has record 33A E2-C-0119 
as it's matrix number for side A.

Red label with black text made by RCA. Record 25A Matrix E1-CB- 2665


Audio Education Inc. The American Singer. White, light blue & dark 
blue on the label. American Book Company and Decca Records Inc.  One 
record says Games And Dances. Book 111 with side A matrix of 77785.

Follett Educational Series all recorded by Columbia. first set light 
blue & white label with light blue text. Together We Sing. Follett 
Publishing Company. One record is Childrens Activity And Game Songs 
album 22 record 2201 matrix PC-6456. Second set set album 21 record 
2105. Matrix PC- 6232. Light pink background with dark pink text. 
Third set green & yellow label with dark green text album 3 record 
303 matrix PC- 5951. Fourth set blue & yellow with blue text. Album 2 
record 202 matrix PC- 5941.

Right now I'm cleaning up & playing the RCA ones I asked about in an 
earlier post, must be about 20 of those. I'll clean up & play these 
too once then put them in sleeves to add to my huge accumulation of 
records. This list of 3 manufacturers is about 50 discs all together.
