[78-L] Colored vinyl records

[Dan Van Landingham]

I had some of the red vinyl Silvertones as well as a set of long playing records pressed in red vinyl on the "Tempo" label circa 1949.The artists included Joe Venuti,Ben Light as well
as organist Lloyd Sloop.The 78s were pressed in what looked like shellac.One of those 78s,"Body and Soul",was my introduction to that particular song.I had it in the late fifties.

The first pressing on the LP & 45 both were yellow (gold) vinyl. 
There was also a set of  Beatles 45's made for jukebox use which each 
record a different single color other than black. A reissue of Harper 
Valley PTA  was done  in  green  vinyl.
