The date is right there in the RCA prefix. M is 1961. The rest of the prefix means 8 is Custom Re-recorded from client's source material. O is Phonograph, and P is 12-inch fine groove. From the looks of the high serial number, it probably is close to the end of the year. > http://www.folklib.net/graphics/45s/oriole_110a.gif > http://www.folklib.net/graphics/45s/oriole_110b.gif > http://www.folklib.net/graphics/45s/oriole_110j1.gif > http://www.folklib.net/graphics/45s/oriole_110j2.gif > > As part of the scanning I've been doing of my Wisconsin > collection since January, I just did the above 78. > > "Imprimatur: MOYSES E.

This might be a photograph credit from its placement on the sleeve. > The 78 and its jacket have no other date on them. Yes it does have another date, right on the label in the RCA prefix. E1 is 1951. The rest of the prefix means Q -- Custom, lacquer furnished to RCA, B is 10-inch 78, standard groove. A 5 digit serial number also would probably date it near the end of the year. > The jacket is not cardboard, but a heavy paper sleeve with a back flap > that was probably originally tucked in and not glued. There is no > sign that the flap was originally outside and sealed with tape. A flap on sleeves like this was common at that time. It would NOT have been tucked in, nor sealed. Its purpose is to keep dust out, and tucking it in would defeat that purpose. Mike Biel [log in to unmask] > > Oriole Records Corporation, 2134 S.
