Very thorough coverage, Andy, as usual! My earliest rememberies of colored vinyl was in the '50s (I was born in '55, so the late '50s is when my bro and I would've been enjoying it), and a Bozo the Clown album (with gatefold and storybook attached within)--can't recall the title.

I looked for it online, and while I may have seen the album cover, none had the vinyl pulled out for me to verify its red (as I remember) color. If only, 60 years ago, I'd-a thunk that I might have a reason to have kept all these things for showing, even if by pix, in the 3rd decade of the following century!!!🤯

Thank you, Brad! That's such a cool and, actually, quite sweet memory. Thanks for sharing it here. And yes, I can imagine it must be mind-blowing... especially when you break it down like that! Goes to show the strong pull of the format... one of a kind, definitely! Thanks again!
