The same selections are ob- tainable on 45-rpm disks. In reviewing the current status of the record situation. Paul Bark- meier, ^'ice President in charge of the RCA Victor Record Depart- ment said: "RCA Victor will continue to I)roduce the conventional 7H-rpm records so long as there is a reason- able demand for them. However, public acceptance of the 45-rpm system, as reflected in constantly increasing sales of 45-rpm instru- ments and records, makes it inevi- table that this .system eventually will rei)lace the 50-year-old 7H-ri)m system. Almost one million 45-rpm turntables are now in use in homes, .md 45-rpm records are selling at the rate of almost .SO million a year. "We are now releasing our initial latalog of improved ,3.3'3 long play I'ecords for tho.se music lovers who wish to hear the distinguished art- ists in the RCA Victor catalog in selections that are suited to long- play reproduction."
