There are, of course, many other numbering series’ on Atco – but this series was somehow always special to me. To this very day, I keep my eyes open for ‘old Atco’ titles that I have never seen before. My most recent acquisition was the 1967 Robert Q. Lewis LP, “I’m Just Wild About Vaudeville” (SD 33-212).

In the late 60’s, I was getting LP’s by Cream and the Bee Gees. In these LP’s, there were nifty inner-sleeves that had photos of other Atco LP’s; so, I kept my eyes open for “Chickenman”, Clyde Borly, Tom Sankey, The Leon Young String Chorale, Robert Q. Lewis etc.
