[78-L] 45 RPM sets

[Michael Biel]

I might have the box you mention, which probably was the Record Club
version. I also have the 45 set in the padded cover.  These 45s match
the LPs.  The first pressing might have silver labels with red print,
but later had black labels with colored Nipper.  (I took the ^ off since
this is again on-topic.)

  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?
