Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 28th Jun 2023		Some interesting info on when exactly each month Victor released its new records: The Talking Machine World, May 15, 1917, page 78d: "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.
