Staff Only

Transcription companies recorded music exclusively for radio airplay, which subscribing stations received in the form of 16-inch vinyl discs that were generally commercially unavailable to the public. The discs were leased to radio stations for a fee, and rotated among participating stations until their disposal after a stipulated airplay date.

This series contains transcription discs from Capitol, Standard Program Library, RCA/Victor and Thesaurus... Orthacoustic. Each disc has been numbered individually. This series contains discs #966-1036, #1097-1100, #1138-1548 and #1579.
