HISTORICAL CONTEXT:
In 1949, RCA Victor used different-colored vinyl for its 45 RPM singles to denote musical genres. These colors included green for country music, yellow for children's records, red for classical music, and cerise (a type of red) for rhythm and blues (R&B) records, while blue vinyl was used for semi-classical and international releases. Standard black vinyl was used for popular hits.
This color-coding system was a marketing strategy introduced with the 45 RPM format to help consumers quickly identify the genre of the records they were browsing or purchasing.
In 1949, RCA Victor's "Coming Attractions" referred to the company's new 45 rpm records, which it introduced that year to compete with Columbia's 33⅓ rpm long-playing (LP) records. The phrase was part of RCA's marketing campaign to promote the revolutionary new format for single-song releases.
