[78-L] a set of Victor PRogram transcriptions

[Jamie Kelly]

The UK RNIB talking book discs were 24 rpm. We mainly got the UK discs in
Australia.

Must be the very first commercial release audiobook. From listening to parts
of a few of the mp3 files the reading seems to be very good.

I wonder when the first Library Of Congress talking book records for the
blind came out? They would have been 33 rpm & either 10 or perhaps 12 inches
in diameter. Later (I'm not sure when) they went to 10 inch 16 rpm records
that ran 45 minutes per side. I've never seen the 33 rpm ones. Only the 16 &
8 rpm records......
