The large complete storyteller record, called the Little
Nipper Giant Storybook Record Album (could they not come up with a
shorter name?), was issued in 78, 45 and 33 ⅓ RPM formats.
The records were located on the inside covers
in special paper sleeves that were pasted to the covers.
The 78 version almost always has significant
damage to these sleeves as the records are so heavy.
The 45 version records are much smaller and
lighter, and as such these sleeves are almost always intact.
The 33 ⅓ version has a single record
that is about the same size and weight of a 78, so the single sleeve on the
inside front cover is also almost always quite distressed too. So the moral is: If you are looking for a very nice copy, go
for a 45 set.
