 This cost-cutting effort frustrated many record collectors of the time, especially since some of the discs had an audible rumble when played on better quality turntables.Despite RCA's claims to the contrary, these records could warp over time and the company eventually abandoned the process.In 1982, RCA began issuing a series of budget priced Victrola audio cassettes, retailing for $2.99 each; some of these titles were reissues of previous Victrola LPs, while others were new releases.
