After the shortages and rationing of the immediate post-war period, life began to improve in the 1950’s. As well as more availability of foodstuffs there were more consumer goods,  such as record players and 45 rpm discs. The first ’45 had actually been pressed by RCA Victor in 1948, and was  called  “PeeWee the Piccolo”. As few people would have had equipment to play it, however there is no sign that poor Pee Wee was a great success.
