   Dear The, aka Bob,   
   We have just been discussing vinyl 78s,   
   of which this set is RCA's   
   first postwar issue in that material.   
   Transparent red vinyl discs, right?

   If it's a Keynote set, what's the odd side doing ]   
   ith an RCA logo, I wonder. They probably did   
   the pressing for Keynote.   
   In any case, this one is reissued on a current CD:

   We do have a resident discographial object-fetishist,   
   who will no doubt chime in shortly. Meanwhile, thanks   
   for thinking of us.
