[78-L] Blue wax vs. "plastic"?

[Taylor Bowie]

How about this?  One of my fave McGregors is #1491/2  Paul Pendarvis Orch. 
"No Other One" b/w "Isn't This A Lovely Day."

Great sweet band sides,  amazing hi-fi sound,  and...it's pressed on a sort 
of light-weight turquoise plastic material...not laminated.  It weighs very 
little and is slightly flexible.

Anyone have any others like this?  It must be from '35 given the tunes.

Taylor
