While finishing the long-overdue sorting of my vocal 78s, I found something
which strikes me as a real oddball...but I don't really know much about late
40s 78s so maybe it's not so strange after all, but...
It's a sort of plastic pressing thing: Margaret Whiting doing "Please Don't
Kiss Me" on a purple label, #15058.
OK, so far so good....but the other side is a BLACK label of Clark Dennis
singing "I'll Never Say I love" you and it says #485!
Was this some kind of hybrid thing for radio stations by any chance? Both
the songs are from movies issued in 1948.
I can see maybe mixing it up with an old black and a new purple label, but
the different catalog numbers seems really weird.
Any info about this or other such Capitol issues would be appreciated.
