The First 45 rpm. PeeWee The Piccolo. Dec. 1948. RCA Victor Yellow Vinyl Record
RCA Victor Yellow Vinyl. RCA had pressed thousands of 45s for the release announcement of March 1949. We’d never know which was “the first” except for R. Price, manager of the RCA Sherman Ave. He had the first pressed 45 framed, dated (Dec 7, 1948) and signed and delivered to the Indiana State Museum where it now hangs (you can see it on the website). The other RCA pressing plant in Camden, NJ was idled by a strike at the time. So here is PeeWee the Piccolo in the original cellophane sleeves and the first 45 paper sleeves. The records are VG+ and all first pressing 1S, play tested. Hard to find and priced accordingly. Set WY-344 consisting of sides 1 thru 4 disk numbers 47-0146 and 47-0147. I cannot imagine a 45 collection without these. This item is in the category “Music\Vinyl Records”. The seller is “mnop” and is located in this country: US.
