[78-L] records for the blind

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

Original packaging? That used to be cardboard containers with straps as I remember. Then later they went to the plastic containers. Other than the magazines that subscribers could keep or dispose of as they wished I've never seen any actual talking book records for the blind offered for sale anywhere including Ebay.

Of course I never knew who acually pressed any of the actual NLS talking book records as it never said that on the labels themselves other than the letters APH&  AFB on the labels that I remember seeing.
