This is an ORIGINAL 1950 RCA VICTOR 45 RPM INTRODUCTORY ALBUM BOX SET including fourteen of the very first 45 RPM records ever issued, shortly after the format's introduction by RCA in 1949.  The set includes an original green vinyl copy of Eddy Arnold's 'Texarkana Baby', considered to be the very first 45 ever issued.  Two of the 45s included in this box set are pressed on green vinyl, three each on red and blue vinyl, and six on black vinyl.  This set includes all fourteen of the 45s that were originally included in this box set, but unfortunately the RCA Victor 45 RPM catalog that was originally included with this box set is missing and not included.  As I understand it this box set was given away with the purchase of an RCA Victor 45 RPM record player.  Records come packaged inside the box in their original RCA Victor stock company sleeves.

Condition of the records in this set ranges from VG with a feelable surface scratch (I believe there is only one record in this category) up to a SOLID NM (the great majority of the records are in this category).  The 47-2811 record has a small bump in the play surface on both sides of the record - I have play tested both sides of this record, this will cause a light non-distracting background bumping sound in the affected area on those songs, no skips.  RCA Victor stock company sleeves are in nice crisp condition with maybe a very few scattered slight wrinkles.  Condition of outer box is a low VG+ with the top cover still fully hinged to the bottom box, and with one torn corner on the top cover.  Gold print on the front cover is faded, and box has a little contact wear and a little wear along the edges and on the corners.

This historic vintage box set would be a choice cornerstone addition to any 45 record collection where the specialty is the history of the 45 RPM record!  $5.00 SHIPPING via USPS Media Mail.  Shipping to areas outside the U.S. via eBay international shipping.   BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE!
