EPs were regarded as albums and, as can be seen, they carried different catalogue numbers
for the album itself (prefix B-) and for the EPs inside (prefix 5-). From this point, this
numbering system was only used for multiple EP albums; single EPs now carry the same number
on both the sleeve and the record.

Columbia started issuing their current 78rpm albums, and reissuing old 78rpm
albums, as boxed sets of 45rpm singles on November 6 1950, and discontinued
them on September 12 1952, the final 45rpm singles set being number B316. On
October 10 1952, they launched their new series of box sets of two EPs,
beginning with number B317, and at the same time they converted several of the
earlier box sets of singles to the new double-EP format, retaining the original
singles sets' catalogue numbers. This applies to sets numbered B299 and B301
above - see also the 45rpm singles section.
The 'SONGS OF THE OPEN SPACES' EP album B322 was initially issued as a boxed
set. Later pressings were in a gatefold sleeve.
