Despite this being placed in my Random & Anonymous posting gallery, the photograph is attributed to “Three Lions.” This rather unusual format is a double-pocket 45 sleeve with a vinyl 45 on either side of a divider which also doubles as a hanger for display (the unit was then plastic-wrapped with the grommet holding it together).
“Bravo Records was a label of Pickwick Sales, later Pickwick International, and manufactured by the K.M. Corporation (probably the Keel Manufacturing Corporation), a part of the Pickwick empire. It was originally in Freeport, Long Island, New York. The series started at number K-100, and ran to number 158. At that point, the label name changed to International Award Series, perhaps due to a conflict with another label with the same name.”
