[78-L] Capitol Recording Disc

[Ron L'Herault]

10 inch diameter
Cardboard base
Thin home disk, I'd say
A couple of women singing, ID'd on the label as Helen and Mary, named as the
Moilan sisters on the record and later one was given a different last name
that I cannot make out.  The disk is quite damaged.
They sing several songs, one of which is Rum and Coca Cola.

Capitol put their label on home recording discs back in the 1940s, but they
also were the company which took over AudioDiscs in the 1980s, later to be
know as Apollo.  This could be from either era from this skimpy description.
With only one driving hole it might be from the latter era.  But what size
is it?  What material is the base?  Is it a thin home disc or a heavy
professional disc.  What are the contents?
