Vintage Hip Pocket Records Mini 45 rpm - 14 DIFFERENT WITH 2 DUPLICATE #4 & # 26

The records, called Pocket-Discs (Americom), or Hip-Pocket Records (Philco-Ford), were 4" in diameter and retailed for 50 cents each. More than sixty different titles were released during the short run of the format from 1967-1969, covering a wide range of artists and even some children's songs. All vending machine titles were issued in small generic cardboard sleeves. The Philco releases were issued in large picture sleeve style envelopes. All releases were in mono, typically just stereo versions with the channels combined.

The formats main selling point was portability, and a couple companies manufactured miniature battery-operated "single-play" turntables for the records. The discs were manufactured in either 33-1/3 or 45 rpm speeds, and could be played on a standard turntable that did not auto-return the tone arm. The format met with poor sales and was soon abandoned.
