The 1946 Columbia Record Catalog shows most popular records at fifty
cents, with a few at seventy-five cents. The catalog does not specify
sizes, so I assume that the 10-inch discs were .50 and the 12-inch were .75.
I believe the catalog was issued at the beginning of the year. I
don't have a 1947 catalog; the 1948 book no longer shows prices.

Does anyone know what the company's 10" pop singles retailed for at the
time? I guess that if OPA price restrictions were cancelled at the time,
records would have cost more by the year's end. Thanks for any help!
