Comments and Reviews


scrough 25th Jun 2024		Han:Vic 21529 - Good that the original, uncropped scans have been retained >as hidden images. They show the matrix numbers in the wax (45801/800) >instead of the catalogue numbers. We try to please :)



han enderman 25th Jun 2024		Vic 21529 - I have no idea. It is especially odd, as the mx.nrs are so prominent and were invisible before and after. When they stopped, they had just released some much earlier recordings and this you can see in the mx.nrs. The mxs are also shown on Japanese Victors, and maybe also elsewhere (will check that). Really strange is that they still appear on labels of much later repressings (for ex., Victor & RCA Victor 21296) !



cyeaman SUBS 25th Jun 2024		Han, do you know why Victor decided to put matrix information on these releases for this six month period? Why did they start? Why did they stop? I'm curious about this.



han enderman 25th Jun 2024		Vic 21529 - Good that the original, uncropped scans have been retained as hidden images. They show the matrix numbers in the wax (45801/800) instead of the catalogue numbers. In this series (10" black label popular) the mx.nrs are shown on the label (at 3) and in the runout (at 6) on issues 21252 (mx 40541) - 21654 (mx 46967), released 30 Mar/6 Apr-Oct 1928. This range is probably exact, as adjacent issues 21251 and 21655 do not show these mx.nrs. The mxs on the labels are printed on the very first issues in a round font (21252-60), but then in narrow italics (21261-21654). Victor 21255 shows the round font and is dated 30 Mar 1928; 21249 & 21256 are dated 6 Apr 1928.
