Coin Operators Special

The first wave of pressings in this series—catalog #s 44-0000 thru 44-0012, plus 29-5000 and 14-0000—were advertised in the November 24, 1945 issue of Billboard as being a special pressing for coin (jukebox) operators and featuring the same song on both sides. The ad copy reads, in part, "Production will be limited to the actual orders that are placed immediately, and only on the fifteen items listed below. So contact your RCA Victor distributor at once for full details." — thus indicating that the records were slated to be manufactured on some later date, probably early 1946.
