These before I pack them up and send them to their new homes. These are Vietnam War era GI records. The Beatles is a cool obscurity, actually they all are sort of obscure as not many were pressed. Sort of on demand depending what was popular at the moment

Yep, Ron it seems like lots of these were brought back by Vietnam era military. Kind of cool and collectible especially as memorabilia for veterans but they are essentially unlicensed knockoffs, pressed on demand, sold on the streets.
