Chordettes 1961 "45 record"

According to George Yates who sent this and it premiers at site 7/23/2007: "Apparently, the records for American Bandstand were stored in a numeric filing system--according to the record jacket. I've seen some of these 'heavy-duy' green jackets before on mostly the older WFIL stuff. I'm guessing that they probably tossed the original skimpy paper ones and used the stronger green ones instead. Makes sense? I think the big '105' might be from WFIL and the handwritten '1449' might be from CA?! Well, anyway I'm glad it made it to my Dad's 'Bandstand Basement.' "

NOTE FROM MARSHA: I do believe George has stated correctly how the records were stored. I recall seeing a picture of Dick Clark with Frani & Angel Kelly and they are going through the stored records in a record room.
