#95. RED WAX COLUMBIAs
"Hungry" by Paul Revere & The Raiders


Click the arrow for music
In the mid 1960s, Columbia and its subsidiary Epic, released many red wax promo 45s. They had the same hit on both sides so that DJs would have a back-up if one side got worn out. They were red to catch the DJs attention and were never released to the public. Here are some of the cooler ones IMO. Two of the Byrds tunes, "Feel A Whole Lot Better" & "All I Really Want To Do" mistakenly have the same catalog number, 4-43332!

Although Vinylbeat is primarily an LP site, now and then we'll be showing some other vinyl related galleries. Thanks to Barry Wickham for allowing me to photograph some of his 45s.
