NOVEMBER 30:

Thanks to Ed Reilly for sharing these pictures!

 

NOVEMBER 29:

I've uploaded these entire catalogs to the Internet Archive.

The Complete RCA Tape Catalog

 

Music Guide RCA Victor Record Club

 

Some new finds from Poland; these two flexi "sound postcards":

 

NOVEMBER 21:

Finally found a stereo copy of Headquarters from the MGM pressing plant
with the block "S" symbol

 

NOVEMBER 12:

Found a pretty good copy of the 8-track Present

Colgems page for all the paperboard 8-tracks

 

NOVEMBER 11:

A PVS sleeve with the original price tag of 94¢

This is a good example of the original retail price for a single.
Usually if it has any price tag at all it is only the discounted sticker, but this one has both.

RCA was one of the industry leaders so whatever they set their prices at others followed

In 1969 RCA raised the price on a single to 98¢

 

NOVEMBER 7:

From the UK, the 8 track version of 25 Hits of the Monkees

 

NOVEMBER 3:

Acquired a test copy of Micky's Daybreak to go with the other promotional
material on his Romar page
