[78-L] Blue label Monkey Ward/Varsity Royale catalogue

Obie's red 45's were actually pressed by RCA's Custom division. Hard to believe he spent the bucks but they did have a helluva nice brochure.

I've got a 45 RPM Toscaninni symphony set that really sounds great & it's on red vinyl.....What I wonder is what did RCA do with the rest of the colors after they switched everything on 45's to black vinyl? Use up the colored stock before switching to black or just stop using it & toss the coloring agents away?
