I have been collecting records for 20 years and these are the only 45 rpm 4 song format radio station transcription records I have seen. I currently have 3 listed on Ebay. This is from the mid-1950s and was issued by 4Star. And it contains two of the earliest Patsy Cline records. 4Star owned the rights to record Patsy Cline but contracted with Decca for actual recording and distribution so early Cline records were on Decca, not 4Star. Later, 4Star would sell 45s with Patsy Cline songs, but these may be the only 45 format recording of Patsy issued by 4Star in the mid-1950s, albeit the special ED 4 song 10" format. These two songs were recorded in early 1956; that is as close as I can come to dating the record. This would have been used by 4Star to promote new artists to get airtime and audience awareness. Note the request on the left side of the record asking that playing time be recorded so royalties could be properly played. I think their use was very short-lived.
A brief discography of Patsy Cline with 4Star is at: Patsy Cline's Recording Sessions - The Four Star Years (patsified.com)
Rated: E- some scuffs and scrapes.
My record grading: I try to avoid records that are simply not an enjoyment to own due to condition or inability to play well. All records are graded using my simple categorization:
Near Mint (M-) nothing is rated mint
Excellent (E+) possibly a flea bite or hair scratch or smudge, super shiny)
(E) scuff or light scratch or two, still super shiny
(E)- slight scuffing or very slight scratches, still shiny)
Good (G+) light scuffs, scrapes or hair crack, shiny still very playable
(G) scuffs, scrapes, light cracking, some shine, still playable
(G-) scuffs, scrapes, cracking, playable, not necessarily enjoyable)
Poor (P-) wall art due to playing condition)
I pack all items carefully for a secure mail delivery. I will gladly combine shipping when possible.
