Hi
We had several discs when I worked in New Zealand, but they were not clear.
My understanding was they were produced just after WWII began in 1939,
probably 1940.  This was the save the aluminium for the war effort.  These
glass discs were heavy and normally had a sticker on the sleeve, saying they
were glass.  The inner part, around where the spindle goes was clear.  The
outer edge was also usually clear, so you would know it was glass (if there
wasn't a sticker on the sleeve!).
Cheers

Marie

Any information on the "The Music Shop" operation or the reason this type of

record would have been made?
