The thickest I have are Canadian releases on Quality, REO, etc. Think the thinnest would be UK TMG ?

Almost all records were thicker during the '50s (especially early '50s, than they were later.

I was pondering this the other day used to have a Natural Four ITYWM on ABC which was very thick compared  to a Len Barry I Struck it Rich (pink DECCA demo) which was very thin.

Dave Love Colalined Baby is another one (thick)

Funny its only the vinly pressings that show this the styrene ones seem to be a consistent thickness.

The Natural Four ITYWM on ABC is only styrene not vinyl, unless I'm unaware of that ?

Love the wonderful Thick Copy Of Festival Jimmy Ricks

Thinnest I can recall is A C REED - My Baby's Been Cheating - Cool

I sold it some 14 years ago so I can't check it but I do remember is was very very flexible.

Thins

Seven Dwarfs - Stop Girl - Ideal 

 Jeanie reynolds - Hit & Run - Casablanca

 A.C Reed - Boogaloo Tramp - Nike (multi colored label)

Not true, I Don't have the disc anymore but it was definitely vinyl, all the Impressions' singles and others including Rosey Grier from that period 1968-1970 are on vinyl.

Some of those majors as ABC, had runs of some specific numbers pressed in either this or that pressing plant only and then some never on styrene or the other way around accordingly...
