International Store

Once RCA Victor introduced the first 45 rpm phonographs, they knew the importance of having not just one 45 rpm record available, but a selection of different artists and styles from which buyers could choose.

Thus, in February 1949, they mixed a little of everything in with the very first batch of 45s shipped to record stores. They arrived in a custom envelope labeled: This Is Your Preview of the New RCA Victor 45 R.P.M. RECORD LINE!

Inside are seven singles, each of which is made using a different color plastic — each color representing seven different musical styles.

The colors and the records are: cerise, or cherry red, for Blues & Rhythm (That’s All Right, Big Boy Crudup, 50-0000); green for Country & Western (Spanish Fandango, Spade Cooley, 48-0027); sky-blue for International (A Klein Melamedl, Saul Meisels, 51-0000); midnight blue for Popular Classics (The French Marching Song, Al Goodman & His Orchestra, 52-0006); and black for Popular (Because, Dick Leibert, 47-2857).

The remaining two in the series are: red for Red Seal Classical and yellow for Children’s Entertainment. Unfortunately, we have yet to learn the artists and titles of this pair of discs.

As the music industry’s very first 45s, the preview envelope suggests: Use these seven records as samples between now and March 31st [1949], and for use with the forthcoming window and counter displays.

The copy writers then wisely and amazingly foretell: You may wish to hold them as collector’s items — the first production run of a record that will set the pace for the entire industry!

Made specifically for in-store use, and not broadcasters, this Whirl-Away Demonstration Record played over and over, calling attention to the colorful display.

Now everyone can hear music history being made.

The 3G version of Apple’s iPad goes on sale in the United States at 5 p.m. Friday, and so far, the crowds haven’t begun queueing in San Francisco.
There have been reports of lines forming at a few stores on the East Coast. However, there isn’t an expectation of throngs turning out for the first sale the way they did for the Wi-Fi version of the iPad earlier this month.
Apple on Friday said its stores will be closed for an hour, starting at 4 p.m., to prepare for the device’s launch. People who preordered an iPad 3G should receive their shipments starting Friday too. Those who missed the preorder period will begin receiving their shipments by May 7, according to Apple’s Web site.
Apple said it sold more than 300,000 Wi-Fi-only iPads when they went on sale April 3. Because of the higher-than-expected demand, Apple said it was forced to delay the launch of the device for international markets until the end of May.
