Description
Up for your consideration is one set of Seeburg Background Music Library records which were used in the Seeburg Background Music System from approximately 1959 through the early 1980's.
These records have a place in use date of October 1, 1969.
The box for this set contains 7 Mood format records and are labeled as follows:
MM-101
MM-105
MM-109
MM-113
MM-117
MM-121
MM-125
Records are 9 inches in diameter and have a center hole of approximately 2 inches in diameter. They play at a speed of 16 2/3 rpm. I made my own center adapter and played them only once on a pioneer turntable and they have not been used since.
These types of records were originally played in a Seeburg BMS player which was used in Grocery Stores, Department Stores, Motels, Factories, etc., to broadcast background music over the PA system. Seeburg put out three formats, Basic, Mood and Industrial.
Replacements were issued quarterly, and the subscriber of the service was to change out 7 discs based on the number on the record label and send back the discs that were removed from the machine. Failure to do so resulted in the subscriber being charged an additional 22 cents per month for each record not returned, according to the instructions on the box. Records, once returned, were never used again and presumably destroyed.
The records for this listing are in Mint condition. The former seller said that they were New Old Stock until he opened the box to see what was inside. I played each one only once on an ordinary turntable with a regular stylus and cartridge used for playing home lps, with no issues.
I will be listing numerous sets of these records over the next few weeks. Most of my collection is Seeburg but I also have a few odds and ends labeled, Rowe Customusic, a competitor of Seeburg.
