No subject

but the catalog numbers bear no relation to an Lp or 78rpm equivalent.

The B. series began as the EP equivalent of items in the old 'C' series of
78rpm albums (up to about B.548 or so) but the C series had petered out
by C.516/C.517/C.518 (Fess Parker)

Beginning with B.1500 they are all single EP's and if the selections
were:
Classical... they took an "A" prefix
Childrens.. they took an "J" prefix
Country.....they took an "H" prefix
all in the same number sequence.

The highest # in this block is B.2157

There is a separate block B.2500-2644 "Hall of Fame" series
and for the "Country & Western Hall of Fame" series the
numbers are B.2801-2837.

Numbers between about B.672-1 and B.1568-3 (last issue)
are derived from the equivalent CL "Pop" series;
sometimes the whole album was issued as three
separate EP's (B.1568-1-2-3 Mitch Miller), sometimes just
a single EP was issued (B.1370-1 Charles Mingus)

The numbers written thus: B.15681, B.15682, B.13701)
