Jackie Phelps - Both Sides Of Jackie Phelps
Here is a 7 inch LP of Jackie Phelps on the Edna label. I believe this was recorded soon before he passed away and was issued after his death. If you like it be sure to check out the other Jackie Phelps post in my blog.
Hope you like it!

Armed Forces Radio & Television Service LP
Here is sort of a unique item. I don`t really know anything about this type disc, except they were issued to be played over radio stations operated by the various branches of the service or at service recreation halls for entertaining the troops.
Hope you all enjoy it!
Scan of the paper sleeve it was issued in. I believe these were meant to be played only by the services a few times and then thrown away.

Bradley Kincaid 45 on the Royale label
Here is a neat one. I don`t care to collect 45`s myself, but I do like this red one. Also, they are a couple of good recordings of these titles for Bradley.
If you like Bradley Kincaid, be sure to search my blog, there is several other Kincaid records on here.

Juniorette Special - In The Best Circles They Are Dancing Square
Here`s is something of an oddity. This is a 7 inch 78 made of paper, coated with, most likely, clear acetate. There is no artists names or song titles mentioned on the disc. This likely was issued in a paper sleeve that had that information on it. Of course, I don`t have the sleeve. The material is of what I`d say a late 1940`s version of an old time string band. Hope you like it!
Tracks list---
1. Little Brown Jug
2. Golden Slippers

Wayne Raney - Songs Of The Hills
Here is a pretty good LP. It has about the biggest hits Wayne had on the King label. I`m not going to go into any history on Wayne, as I have posted another Wayne Raney LP before and Wrote about all I knew about him then. Just search my blog for Wayne Raney to find the other post. Hope you all enjoy this one!
