[78-L] Armed Forces Records, was Three Little Messerschmitts

I have one of these somewhere-bought for a Johnny Hodges cut that turned out to be from Verve. It is microgroove, a somewhat brittle (styrene?) pressing. I've never found anything written about it.

Interesting, wonder if it's microgroove? That label would date from about 1952-3, given the songs on it.dlOn 10/11/2011 9:29 AM, neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com wrote:> What a great find, Mike!>> If you look at>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejs4Of5nZXg>> you will see an "Armed Forces Records" label scan.
