In a  recently acquired collection we have found a 3 inch record from the 
Decca  Personality Series, "Does Your Heart Beat for Me" by Russ Morgan,  #25080. 
 Can anyone tell me a little about the history of 3 inchers  and/or the Decca 
Personality Series?

It was mounted (glued) on a matte,  along with a 7 inch disc, H Berliner 
Gramophon record, "Romance for Trombone"  Military Band (Bennet) Washington, D.C. 
May 27, '97.  No explanation for  the juxtaposition, just matted and  framed.

Thanks,

Philco-Ford tried to introduce a series of 3" flexible "Hip Pocket Records"  
in the 60s.  I wonder if Decca pressed these and even tried to issue  some on 
their own label.

I don't know, this one is definitely not flexible, it's about at thick as the Berliner, and they're both one-sided.

I've put them online if anyone is curious:
