I bought my first 45 in 1963 (Little Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips" on Tamla — 98c at the A&P!), but only really began seriously collecting records since 1967.
I have a wide range of collecting interests ... have a look at my lists: 45cat / 45worlds.
The rimtext on my copy's labels is laid out differently (in two lines) than on the earlier label set. Also, on both Side One labels, "Tubular" is misspelled as "Tabular".
