Anyone out there have any information on the titles of the first two Columbia 33 RPM singles, released in the 7-inch format circa 1948? The oldest one I have is catalog number 1-103 but I also have what seems to be two test pressings with blank red labels and earlier master numbers (and I did compare them to my copy of 1-103 to verify that they were Columbia master numbers) - these are also 33 RPM 7-inch singles. There is no other information on the records except for the song titles someone had handwritten on the edge of the labels (and I don't have access to them at the present so I can't state what they are - one of the records sounded like it could be Xavier Cugat and his orchestra). Thanks for any information, anyone!
