Years ago I bought an Undertakers 45 from guitarist/songwriter Bobby Church. He included these items of memorabilia with the package. What a great guy!

You have the incorrect ABC-Paramount company sleeves housing the Trolls 45s.
The ones you display were produced circa 1962.

For the rainbow bordered ABC logo label, you require this example



For the circle ABC logo, this example:



You also have the outdated label on the Trolls 45. Some pressing plants opted to use their inventory remaining than ordering the new labels for a client, no matter how large the client's operation. The Trolls "Every Day" was pressed with the white circle ABC logo. Despite what some geeks assert, the infinity rainbow logo ABC Paramount pressing was not a first pressing done prior to the new logo issued on 45s starting in February, 1966.
How do I know all this? I am an expert at putting a 45 in the proper authentic time period paper sleeve.

That's why you are the world reknowned Professor MoptopMike and I'm not.

I think that’s the complete output by Chicago’s Trolls. Cool to see you rate them highly enough to have them all. I think they’re overlooked in general.

Yes I do. However I didn't include their last 45 "Professor Pott's Pornographic Projector" credited to "The Troll", even though I do own a copy.
As someone once observed, names tend to evolve. If the Trolls had stayed together, they might have evolved thus:
1966 - The Trolls
1968 - The Troll
1970 - Troll
1975 - Troll City
1977 - The Screaming Trolls
1981 - Thee Paisley Trolls
1984 - A Flock Of Trolls
1990 - DJ Troll
2015 - Justin Troll
2020 - Bad Bunny Troll featuring DaBaby Troll

Your twilight collection isn't complete yet, Mark

Also missing is the Twilights on Bangar. There may be others, but I can't do a thorough check while I'm away from home.

These are the best 5 Oscar Hamod 45s, but there are 2 others I'm missing (on Ark and Score)

Is that Type 5 an acetate, Mark, or was it produced in quantity with a cheap label?

 

[bosshoss]

It's an acetate Mike. I'm pretty sure it appeared on G45 Unwaxed.

I hope you enjoy looking at record labels for no apparent reason. Oops one is upside down. And Open Rodes is missing its picture sleeve.

This is like being able to paw thru my own collection without having to dig thru the bins of 45s.
