This set was issued by CBC but was obviously only intended for home use for two reasons, there are no timings on the records and the set is in automatic drop sequence, (a set intended for broadcast would never have a situation where a record has to be turned over to continue but in this set, sides 6 and 7 are on the same disc


You never heard of the famous "Nyberg flip"? But Dave's right..discs intended 
for broadcast purpose were often pressed in "slide auto" sequence. Of course 
they could always request a duplicate copy of Disc 6, which the Corp often did 
with its 78 album sets. If the album was available only in manual, they'd keep 
two sets on the shelf and mark the sides to be used, which was great..any time 
I transferred those sets (when I had access to the place, before the High 
Heeled Hippo cut me off) I'd just use the unmarked sides, which were near mint.

The albums were beautifully made. I have two of them. The albums, not the discs 
(there must have been extras). I've seen a file copy but never had the records.
