The 1st 45 produced was "Pee Wee The Piccolo" on Dec. 7.1948. The 1st 45 released was Eddy Arnold "Boquet Of Roses" on March 31, 1949. The larger center hole was used to reduce friction and minimize damage on the 45 discs.

I don't think jukeboxes had anything to do with 45's having large center holes. The 1st jukebox to play 45's wasn't produced until over a year and a half after 45's were being manufactured. From Billboard November 4, 1950-

Just a few clarifications- some companies did try out pop- out centers but it never really caught on. 45 rpm EP's did have large center holes, EP's that played at 33 had the small center holes .

According to Steve Propes and Jim Dawson' book "45 rpm- The Heroes & Villains........" , it was a matter of convenience and to minimize stress on the records. Record changers which made it possible to stack discs on top of each other were popular. They found out that with 78's, that the records were getting chipped or cracked. So, to minimize damage on the 45's, engineers found out that a large center hole reduced friction and other stresses from record changers.

I've never seen one either- it does exist on this Jukebox EP though-

The Curtis Publishing Co. also worked with Reprise Records in the 60's -

Discogs has this New World as being a different group to the Polydor New World. The site also says the 45 is on the EARS label (Expert Audio Repair Service) and has a link to their web site. When you click on the web site, it says the domain name is for sale ?

It appears that Goodway was owned by the Curtis Publishing Co. who decided to expand into records and tapes. Here's the names of some people who were in charge of the company. Not sure who owned Curtis Publishing though.

Not sure what you're looking for help with ?

The original title for "A Breath Taking Guy" beats Shirley Ellis by one word-

U.S. albums were definitely shrink wrapped in the 60's. I believe I read somewhere (?) the 1st shrink wrapped album was Ray Charles "Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music". A google search also shows the process started around 1962.

Lovelites - Get It Off My Conscience, bootleg??
The Yank replied to Soulie_girl_80's topic in Look At Your Box
According to discogs- the originals have the same matrix info. -
Here's an article from Billboard that mentions Neptune but not Philadelphia International -

Cashbox article announcing the beginning of Philly International (April 10, 1971) -

My 108 has T1 on both sides. My 112 issue has T1 on both sides. My 112 promo has the same info but with an X on the "Festival Time" side.

There's also this strange, obvious boot with Brenda Holloway's "When I'm Gone' on the flip side -
-
I checked my Ric-Tics and found the same thing. The only stamped ones I have pre 119 are Edwin's 2 Hits- "Agent.." and "S.O.S. ...". Without seeing your 45's, I would guess they are probably all originals. Discogs does have a section showing which Ric-Tics were bootlegged.

Just heard well known record producer Phil Spector passed away on January16th of natural causes .
