When I was growing up in Naptown there were 45 rpm records everywhere! There were a lot of people who had 45 rpm singles of their own recordings and there seemed to be a lot of small record labels here in Indianapolis. Radio Corporation of America (RCA) did a considerable amount of pressing at their facilities here in Indy. I remember an Eddy Arnold 45 that came out in 1960 that read on the side of the label "The One Billionth Record Record Pressed at the Indianapolis Pressing Plant" ... Wow, One billion 45s and that's four years before The Beatles hit The States. RCA Custom Pressing did job lots for people and smaller, independent record labels as well.. Many of these records were gave away by the artists, to their fans at local shows with a few selling here and there. Many more of these records were miserable memorabilia of record company owners, remnants of failed ventures with past artists, some of which perhaps, they did not part company on good terms.. For whatever reason, many of these local discs sat around for years, unwanted by most but wanted and gathered by me. There were times through the 80s that Brits or Germans would look around town for artists or records but for the most part, the idea of an Indiana 45 being a collectors item began to become more popular in the early 90s... When I first met Jason Yoder, I never thought much of my Indiana 45 collection per se.. I gave Jason a number of Indiana 45s and through his hard work and tireless digging he has complied the most magnificent web site on the subject www.indiana45s.com I have made videos of some of the Indiana and Ohio 45s I currently have as well as some artists that are closely associated with Indy
Here's a cool country bopper from Bob Hill and his Melody Boys on a Nabor Records 45 - This Old Train Is Leaving My Blues Behind - Check out the cool train sound effect at the end of the tune.

Is this a Garage Band or is it a soul band? Did this record really come out in 1959? I don't know anything about The Four Labels on Gra Low Records 45 - Lookin'
