Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 25th Jan 2017		Because of the absence of the patent number between the label rings and the silver lettering, images 416303 and 416304 must be a 1951-54 repress. From 1947-51, the lettering would have been brass (cf. M.W. Sherman, Collector's Guide to Victor Records, 107). I've corrected the label descriptions above.



BigBadBluesMan 12th Mar 2015		The image shows a Jan. 1946-1947 repress, still listing patent nr. 2130239.

W.B.lbl 17th Jan 2013		Actually, the variant shown on {Images #416303 & 416304} was "later," as 1946 pressings would have made reference to U.S. Patent #2,130,239 in the label rim print above the "RCA Victor Division..." rim print.
