The following record (like several Philips 78's of the same era has the word green on the label even though the label is blue!

Note that I have included the two dots in the cat number as on the disc.
However I fell this will make searching for a particular cat number very difficult.
Numbers given in record catalogues do not include dots.
Hi Tony. The 'Green' on the label told the confused owner to use the 78 stylus (often shown as the green side of the small 'flag' indicator on the front of multi-speed record player cartridges. 45's and LP's were the 'Red' stylus - which meant flipping the cartridge over 180 degrees).
My grandad taught me that when I was four, so I wouldn't bu**er up his radiogram!
