han enderman 2nd Oct 2023		Vic 20-1752 - Added are Victor labels of the 1st Hollywood pressing, Nov 1945 (#1). This has the word "Corporation" below the circled RCA logo, that extends above the concentric circles, and mentions one patent (2130239). The next pressing/printing (#2) is on RCA Victor, and now the RCA logo at 6 is in a lower position and splits both the lower circle and the rim legend, moving "Corporation" to the left of the logo. The patent is still present (1946-1947). On the next label type (#3) the patent legend is absent, and thus there is no text between the concentric circles.



xiphophilos 1st Oct 2023		As much as I would love to own a RARE repress, this is not an Indianapolis label. An Indianapolis pressing would have two closed concentric circles nearly touch the small RCA circle (the "meatball"), just like the RCA Victor repress here. This is a standard Hollywood pressing with two concentric circles, broken at top, that nearly touch the small RCA circle (the "meatball"). Pressing plants identified per 1947 RCA Standardization Notice at https://www.flickr.com/photos/8139976@N03/34463952881 The word "Corporation" is always completely to the left of the circled RCA logo. That is not unusual at all. Finally, this is not a 1946 label. 1947-1951 repress on RCA Victor Ring Label without patent number listed to the right of the logo and brass lettering on glossy black paper, cf. M. W. Sherman, A Collector's Guide to Victor Records, 2nd ed., page 107.



4LuvOfDeals 1st Oct 2023		The photo is actually of the RARE 1946 reissue from the Indianapolis pressing plant. Notice at the bottom of the outermost ring , the word, "corporation," is completely to the left of the circled RCA logo. On the version that should be here, the word is split on both sides of the logo.



xiphophilos 12th Jun 2016		Label is a ca. 1947-51 reissue, pressed in Hollywood.
