Silhouettes lp not me baby
U.S. albums were definitely shrink wrapped in the 60's. I believe I read somewhere (?) the 1st shrink wrapped album was Ray Charles "Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music". A google search also shows the process started around 1962.

The Ric-Tic Label
I checked my Ric-Tics and found the same thing. The only stamped ones I have pre 119 are Edwin's 2 Hits- "Agent.." and "S.O.S. ...". Without seeing your 45's, I would guess they are probably all originals. Discogs does have a section showing which Ric-Tics were bootlegged.

Sparkels-Try Love
I believe it was a typo. The Don't Forget The Motor City website has the credits as Barnes and Kerr. There is an unreleased acetate of a Norma Jenkins version of the song.
