Babygram
|
|
One of the smallest records ever
produced, Babygram records were just 4" in diameter and single-sided. They
are made of a vinyl-like material by British Homophone for Raphael Lipkin,
director of Pippin Toys of London SW8. They were certainly available in
the mid-1960s, so it seems most likely that they date from the first half
of the 1960s. There was a corresponding tiny gramophone to play them on,
also called "The Babygram" which had a red lid with "Babygram" in white
lettering on it.
Thanks to
Lester Smith for the label scan.

Thanks to the following people, I now appear to
have the full details up to No. 17, which could be a full set, though based on
the fact they were sold in packs of 6, there should be at least 18.
