	The First Series (1962) In 1962, when Little LPs first appeared, Monument was being distributed by London Records, and their LPs used the SM-14000 series. Monument crafted three Little LPs in fall, 1962, under the London SBG- series. Unlike London and the other London-distributed labels, who used a dark blue label, Monument used their current gold and white "swirl" label, with "GOLDEN STEREO" across the top edge. These were pressed using the London numbers and the again shortly thereafter using a Monument series, MSP-1 through MSP-3, because just about the time these were being prepared for Seeburg, Monument broke from London in favor of their own distribution.
	MSP-1 (SBG-10) - Bob Moore & His Orchestra - Mexico [1962] (From the 1961 LP SM-14005.) Mexico/Corazon D'Oro/Mexicali Rose//South Of The Border/El Picador/Vaya Con Dios MSP-2 (SBG-11) - Roy Orbison - Crying [1962] (From the 1962 LP SM-14007.) Crying/Our Summer Song/Let's Make A Memory//Lana/Loneliness/Night Life MSP-3 (SBG-12) - Jerry Byrd - Memories of Maria [1962] (From the 1962 LP SM-14008.)
	The "Promotional Six-Pac" Mono Little LPs (1963) When Monument left London as a distributor, the changed their catalog LP numbering system from the M-4000/SM-14000 series to the new LP-8000/SLP-18000 series. They took most of the ten LPs they had released under the old series and reissued them with new numbers in the new numbering system. In order to publicize these re-issues to deejays, they put out a series of 14 mono Little LPs in a promotional MSP-001 series (remember, at that time jocks were on mono-only AM radio). These were called "Promotional Six-Pacs." The numbers corresponded to the last three digits of the new album numbers, and some numbers had two Little LPs issued. The first label for the series was the full-color swirl label.
	MSP-001 - [not issued?] This would have corresponded to Grandpa Jones' Yodeling Hits, but we found no indication it was ever issued. MSP-002 [mono] - Boots Randolph - Yakety Sax [1963] Yakety Sax/If You've Got The Money (I've Got The Time)/I Can't Stop Loving You//Smoke Gets In Your Eyes/Lonely Street/Cacklin' Sax
	At this point, the Monument label changed from the full-color swirl to a green label with a yellow band around the edge. This change was made in the LPs at SLP-18005, but the LLPs were running a bit later, so the change took place earlier in this series.
