Unique Lot of 10 x Shellac 78rpm Records

No one is really sure the purpose of these records--possibly made for movie studios in terms of finding songs for films or someone who paid to have these certain songs copied and pressed for private use.  

They are all in a large green book and each label is from The Sound Workshop in Los Angeles and each label is typed with "Copy" as well as a date of "5/27/48" and the two song titles that are on each side (most have two songs per side).  The type is incredibly hard to see as it has either faded or the actual ink used was red. 

Each record was play-tested in full in order to help identify the songs.  The numbers correspond to the order found in the book:

Records play with expected surface noise, but no skips.  Remarkable condition for their age--nearly 80 years old--but each disc has some light scratches or surface mark.

Photos are of actual item.  Most of the records are visually identical, so only a sample were taken.  Please ask any questions, if we can answer them.
