Little Wonder Records were single-sided five inch discs, the same size as a modern CD, but containing just a single song, running for little more than a minute.

The label was the brainchild of former Columbia Records Executive, Henry Waterson. It gave ordinary Americans their first affordable access to recorded sound.

Securing a Woolworth endorsement proved lucrative for Waterson, with sales topping half a million records a week!
