In 1956, Martian Gilbert formed Gilmar Records and had an extensive radio, television, and newspaper ad campaign selling a three-record set of E.P. 45's containing 18 hit songs. The campaign was a success and had nearly 10,000 orders placed. At first, the records were pressed with three songs per side, then they made compact LPs with four hits per side. The 45 rpm generic sleeves suggest they made 12 inch LPs too- but I have never seen them. Soon the 78's were dropped, and the number of songs increased per side to eight songs per 45 rpm EP and five songs per 33 1/3 rpm compact LP. The company sponsored a TV program in the '60s named "The Record Hop." They folded sometime in the mid to late '60s (exact date not known).

I am also willing to sell my physical copies of the records I have digitized and uploaded onto YouTube. All records are priced at $1 each, plus the costs of shipping them media mail. The only exception is for the Seeburg 16 2/3 rpm releases, the market value for those is at least ten dollars apiece, and that is pretty much what I to pay to get ahold of any these days. Also, I was forced to drastically purge my collection multiple times between Fall 2014 and Summer 2017, so there is a good chance for videos released before or during that time period to no longer have possession of that record in my physical personal collection to sell.
