Pressed originally with 68.5mm labels (before pressing, whereby they lost ~0.65% of their original size) and ~63.0mm pressing ring; a later, c.1937-41 pressing shows the extent thereof, being as the later one was pressed with "regular" 75.0mm labels (and 69.5 - 69.75mm pressing ring).

No, they can be incorporated together

Comment by historyofcountrymusic:

Added the RCA Victor pressing images - does it need a separate listing maybe?

Comment by fixbutte:

No objection, xiphophilos. When I said that the release dates of Victor records "were nearly always on Fridays of the previous month" (not: on the last Friday) of the monthly Victor catalog and the DAHR date, I meant the time when records were actually released weekly, which was definitely true from 1923 on but possibly already earlier in the 1920s.

Comment by xiphophilos:

I'm probably opening a can of worms here, but I am no longer quite as sure that Victor's release date was _always_ or even "nearly always" the last Friday of the previous month, as fixbutte claims above.

The Talking Machine World, May 15, 1917, page 78d features an article that is directly relevant to the question:
"Victor Co. Announces Change in 'Opening Day'"
Monthly List of Records to Be Released on the First of Months Instead of the 28th of the Preceding Month as Formerly – Change Effective with August Supplement."

The article mentions that the 28th had been the "Opening Day" since 1906 (actually 1905, see note below), but transportation difficulties and a vote of the dealers motivated a change in practice:

"The first of the current month (as indicated by the date on the supplement) is, beginning August 1, to be the simultaneous "Opening Day" for new Victor records. When the first of the month falls on a Sunday or a holiday, the preceding day is then to become the simultaneous "opening day.""

Note: The 28th was introduced as "Opening Day" in The Talking Machine World, January 15, 1905, page 3.

Based on this, it seems as if Victor releases came out on the 28th of the previous month only between January 15, 1905 and May 15, 1917.

Starting June 1, 1917, the release date was the 1st of the month.

Two other RCA Victor Program Transcriptions (both by Duke Ellington) are indexed in the Vinyl Albums world. These records don't fit neatly either here or there.
