A & Ms to Zonophones, dating from a 7-inch Berliner disc of 1899 to the Last 78s,
from the First 45s to a black label juke box single of the 1990s.
Back in the 1960s Auntie Beeb was forced to accept the sheer popularity of
the vinyl 45 and suddenly had to employ - the horror ! - disc jockeys ...
You may remember the "oldies" that we all loved or you may be just discovering
an unforgettable magical Golden Age - which answers, I hope, the question :
"Why would anyone want to publish a book of record labels?"
Does it really matter if 45s get into the wrong sleeves?
Or if wrong dates are printed on the labels?
Do computers make good radio programmers?
How many foreign languages hit the U.K. charts?
What became of the original White Christmas?
And what did happen to the Beatles' first Parlophone single?
(Their second made Number One in New Musical Express - therefore also Radio
Luxembourg (2 wks.) ; Melody Maker - so also Daily Mirror and others (2 wks.), B.B.C.'s
Pick Of The Pops (3 wks.), also Disc (2 wks.), Pop Weekly (2 wks.) as well as E.M.I.'s own
chart and of course Mersey Beat. But not Record Retailer which is generally agreed to
be the least reliable for the 1960s (used by Record Mirror and Guinness).
Awarded a Silver Disc for 250,000 sales in April 1963.)
