Eighty years ago, a young firm, founded by Chicago Stockholders, started to develop a new kind of unbreakable flexible record, which should be sold as a weekly issue containing the last music hits. The first ones should be sold in February 1930 in the New York news stands. In the preceding months test records were made - today one of the first - the oldest one that still exist. A very rare test record !! The next months the Hit of the week blog ( http://hitoftheweek.blogspot.com ) will follow all weekly issues on a weekly schedule starting the 13th of February 2010, eighty years after the first one could be obtained. Before that time several test, promo and custom records were released to be spotlighted the next weeks. Hans http://keepswinging.opweb.nl/friends.htm
