Description

Announcer Dick Bertelmann talks to a listener as Sales Manager Larry Donino holds a new 45 RPM record, introduced to the marketplace only a few months earlier. Note the RCA Victor J-2 45 record changer in the background. This unit sold for $12.95 in record stores. The program they are hosting is "The Saturday Night Request Party." Callers' voices were not permitted by law to be broadcast on the air so the listeners heard only the announcer's side of the conversation
