[78-L] Odd Capitol 78

[Ronald Lees]

I must have read through that to fast...plastic it is :)

This definitely makes sense #485 was released at the very end of 1947 or
beginning of 1948 and #15085 was released within the first few months or so
of 1948. Well before the white label flex promo's you mentioned.

Ah, it WAS mentioned as being a plastic pressing. That's definitely a promo.
