Records have been a part of my family's life for almost as long as I can remember. The photograph below of my mom and dad on a couch, before either I or my sister was born has mom holding a Stan Kenton album in her hands. Dad is holding a King Cole Trio album. Both appear to be 78's.
That photograph could have been taken as early as 1948.
The Stan Kenton album is titled "Artistry in Rhythm" and was Capitol No. 167 (45' - 48') 10" recording, so that likely helps confirm the photograph could have been from 1948.
However, The King Cole Trio cover in dad's hands looks to be that of The King Cole Trio Volume 3 which is listed on one internet site as being a Capitol 10" recording from 1950.
In later years, I don't recall either record still being in either of their collections. Since they might have been 78's, mom or dad might have given them away or tossed them when 33 1/3 RPM's became more widely available and record players no longer played 78 RPM's.
