One of the smallest records ever produced, Babygram records were just 4" in diameter and single-sided. They are made of a vinyl-like material by British Homophone for Raphael Lipkin, director of Pippin Toys of London SW8. They were certainly available in the mid-1960s, so it seems most likely that they date from the first half of the 1960s. There was a corresponding tiny gramophone to play them on, also called "The Babygram" which had a red lid with "Babygram" in white lettering on it.

The "catalogue" numbering looks straightfoward on the face of it, but is actually very chaotic, with some recordings appearing under more than one number. I will attempt to show this all below...

Thanks to Lester Smith for the label scan.
