Kodachrome Postcard-Wyoming
Collectors know that the term “chrome” refers to any card after 1939 with a shiny paper surface. The first chromes were made with Kodachrome film by The Union Oil company in 1939 as a series distributed at gas stations. Kodachrome is an iconic film by Kodak Company beloved for it’s unique “red” tones and it’s stability of images.
Kodachrome film was developed for the movie industry, and first produced in 1935. For 74 years, the film was the source of
classic photographs and
iconic magazine images. And the inspiration for a song by Paul Simon. Kodachrome film production was
discontinued in 2009 and the last laboratory processing the film discontinued development in 2010. This should make the postcards with actual Kodachrome logos more collectible, wouldn’t you say?

I ran across a discusson of this topic on an online forum today and thought some of the points made were interesting.
- Top 40 charts made buying 45s a must between the 50s and mid 70s. That’s because 45s are what the radio stations played. LPs got the nod as FM stations started playing songs from them more frequently.
- Many bands never released the “B-sides” of hits on an album. There were numerous “B-sides” that also became huge due to DJs having the courage to play them! That’s how hits became hits back in the day.
- Some collectors bought both the LP and the 45 of a song because the album would contain a longer version of the song. However, there are instances of different versions of a song being released on 45s. For example,Chambers Brothers’ “Time Has Come Today” in one 45 version runs about 3-1/2 minutes and on another 45 runs over 4 minutes.
- One person resports that most of the record meets and fairs that he’s attended he sees the number of people browsing through the 45′s section and the LP’s section as being about equal, although he feels that 45′s may have a slight edge over LPs in collectability — especially those with picture sleeves in very good condition, which as you know can fetch a higher price than the actual 45 itself.
- The same person reports that in most of the record pricing guides, unless the 45 has some exceptional/outstanding quality or rareness and/or an excellent accompanying picture sleeve, on the average that LPs tend to fetch higher prices than 45s.
