Ludwig Catalogue 75-1 (1974)

The 1975 catalogue was the first mainstream catalogue to include Vistalite drums (the line was launched too late to appear in the 1973 catalogue). In addition to the standard clear and blue kit photos from the 1973 brochure, this catalogue included the launch of the Jellybean kits and also included a lot of material on Vistalite marching drums.

The front cover featured a massive octa-plus Jellybean kit (so many drums that the colours are paired).

The main Jellybean feature included the classic Jellybean photo which adornes all the top web sites!

Vistalites were making their mark in the parade arena as well....
