The fact that the catalog number has a prefix of '78' tells me it was when other formats were popular as well.  I saw on another website another disk by Air Check they claimed was ca. 1952.  It didn't have the '78' prefix for the catalog number.

I think they were in NYC and in the mid 50s.  They did both pressings 
and lacquers, and all I recall seeng are 33 microgroove.  The only one I 
remember offhand is a Barry Farber program on WOR from the mid 50s where 
Barry wasn't there.  I think the guest had it recorded, and I don't 
remember either the guest or guest host.
