Flexo was pressing 16-inch ETs for Brunswick in the early to mid-30s.  I
have one I got from Les Zeiger decades ago.  The red labels used on
Brunswick ETs at that time have info that says that the purple records
are acetate -- those are the Flexos -- and the black records are
shellac.  These labels are also seen on 12-inch pressings.  These are
paper labels, of course, not printed labels like this one.



I have a really odd pressing of a Charlie Spivak mid 40s Victor side, on
what 
looks like a x-ray. As soon as I find it, you can be sure it'll go up on
eBay. 

Are you sure it is a pressing and not a cutting on x-ray film which was
widely done in Eastern Europe.

(Watch for my cheesecake Christmas LP sometime today..Tijuana Christmas
on gold 
vinyl, with a picture of a shayner maidel pressed in the plastic.) dl

I came across a copy of this album yesterday -- in regular black
sorta-vinyl.
