    [from Dave Sax]
    Interesting, I just looked in ACA files and there's the note that that ACA 3191 thru 3194 were 'bought in by Rex at Ralphs'. Also confirmed is my suggestion that the 78s were pressed earlier and not by ACA.

    To the rockin' gipsy: You're right that Popularity 45s were far later than 1960. There were two series and one is his first label after moving to Nashville in either late 1969 or in 1970. Then there was a second series and Showtime followed; also a revival of Spade aimed at collectors.
