[78-L] OT? question about RCA Program Transcription audio books

[DanKj]

  Here's some info which recently appeared online (it hasn't come up in searches before now, anyway) - it's all about the 
12" Victrolac (yes, correctly spelled!) discs and how they could replace 16" discs for Vitaphone soundtracks.

Subject: [78-L] OT? question about RCA Program Transcription audio books


I don't own these discs (wish I did!!) however I wonder if RCA put out any other
audio books in the program transcription format other than this one? The Bat by
Mary Robert's Rhinehart & read by James Wallington on ten discs LR-1 through
LR-10? Or is this the only one that RCA put out in this short lived format.
Below is the URL for a page which not only has clickable labels for each disc
side but also 32kb/s mp3 files of each side that can be listened to or
downloaded as desired. Be aware that the discs have some scratchyness to them
(they are a bit worn) when you play the sound files....

If other audio books exist in this format any info would be quite nice!!
