[78-L] Glass Base 78s

[David Weiner]

No, it's all dirty flexible white/clear vinyl - I think I used to have two
tests like you mention, one of a Glenn Miller and one of a Sammy Kaye, both
from 1942 - rough-edged one-sided discs, with the spider web design on the
flip and seemingly coated in a dirty silver-bronze color.

Does the "dirty clear see through vinyl" sort of match my description of the

one-sided Charlie Spivak disc?

"stiff translucent vinyl which is variable in color (bronze, grey, clear in 
spots). Victor 20-1636B"
