[78-L] Capitol Recording Disc

[Royal Pemberton]

I've seen a number of those yellow Capitol discs....they're the el cheapo
coated fibreboard base discs, often the labels also are printed with the
name of the music stores they were made for and sold through.  These are
different from the Capitol 'Pro-use' discs which are good quality lacquer
discs.
