> Any idea why RCA, Columbia (& perhaps other companies in the 50's) put out
classical on 45 rpm sets instead of just doing it on LP's? And yes I have a 
few
45 rpm classical sets in my collection which I bought used years later after
they were released.

The A series of EP's below A.999 are generally derived from
