Comment:

Here's the story: I'm not certain how I came to own this, but I have what looks on the outside to be a photo album the size of a 45 rpm record. When you open it up, you see that it's actually an album to hold 45s in. It has 14 individual sleeves in which to store records. There is an index on the inside cover. A girl/woman named Alice M. Blair, who also included her address, owned this collection of 45s. From the notes she wrote in the index, it looks like she received the album on Christmas Day 1954. She listed, in beautiful penmanship, the a- and b-side of each of the records that could be found in the album. On the inside back cover she added the titles of records that she added to this collection on June 5, 1955; December 22, 1955; and November 7-8-9, 1958. From her notes, it looks like she once had 20 records stored in this album. It now has seven records in it, including one (the DeCastro Sisters record) that Alice didn't list on the front or back inner covers (but I'm including it here on the assumption that it did belong to Alice). This CD includes all the A- and B-sides of the records that have remained in the album to this day. This isn't exactly a mix I'd find myself listening to that often (though I will make copies for my grandmother and mother-in-law; they will both enjoy it), but I feel like it's up to me to preserve Alice's collection digitally to honor her love of this music and the love of all music collectors back in the age when the 45 r.p.m. record was a relatively new invention.
