[78-L] RCA Collector's Item Record No. 1

[Han Enderman]

I have 78rpm images of Coll Items:
# 2 Tommy Dorsey: Just A Simple Melody'/ Whiteman: You Took Advantage Of Me (E3-CS-7920/22), and
# 3 Columbo: You Call It Madness (...23) - rev by Rudy Vallee (...24).
Note the consecutive mxs.
Long ago Art Z. reported No.3 on thin 45rpm vinyl.
At least for No.1, the mailer (envelope) served as sleeve and was sent by Halo Shampoo and states:
Here's Your Special Collector's Item Record from Halo!

>>> I haven't seen that one but I've seen some others, mostly on 45s with a "collectors item" sleeve. Things like Paul Whiteman's "Whispering" and Gene Austin and like that, if I'm not mistaken..those discs aren't handy to check at the moment.
