IIRC, the red vinyl Silvertone Record Club discs first appeared in the 1946
Fall & Winter catalog...MAY have appeared in the next (1947 Spring & Summer)
but were gone thereafter. Nobody is absolutely sure these were pressed for
Sears by Mercury, but it appears that may have been the case...?!
After all, both were hq'd in Chicago...
