[78-L] 45 RPM sets ^

Thu Dec 5 11:29:30 PST 2013

  When I was 10 my parents gave me a 45 box set of the first Glenn Miller Limited Edition. 10 records, no separation grooves between songs and very edited songs. I didn't know how much till I got the LP set years later. Weirdest of all were the pink labels with no 'Nipper logo' just RCA Victor in the arc format. I read somewhere a long time ago that the reason for no logo was they were pressed in the UK. Set # is SPD-18. Came with booklet but no individual stamped # like the padded LP set. Anyone know any info on these?
