Virtually ALL of these "anonymous" credit-less discs were "party records"...
risque recordings not QUITE (in most cases) illegal (that is, they didn't 
USE
the bad words!!) but still widely sold!! There is, in fact, a web site 
dedicated
to such records...David Diehl's "Blue Pages!"

Your other question suggests you should find Kurt Nauck's 78.com web
site, and purchase a copy of my book, "The (Almost) Complete 78rpm
Record Dating Guide"...! It will provide ALL the data you seem to be
seeking...?!
