I would guess that "Special Record 1047-P" is a typo, and SHOULD be 1074-P
like the other issues?! Also, I dimly recall seeing Harmony-et-al discs 
PARTLY named
"Special Record;" usually the label says "<name of movie> Special Record!" 
These
MAY have been intended for sale (or giveaway?) in theatre lobbies when the 
movie
in question was playing...?!
