Comments and Reviews


han enderman 6th Nov 2023		AeoVoc 30000 - (Aeo-)Voc did not issue "more than 160" 1-sided records in the 30000s. I have seen labels in the following ranges: AeoVoc 30000-30031, 30100-30127; Voc 30128-30179. So there are 2 series here. Other series in the 30000s are 2-sided (with prefixed A/B sides): AeoVoc 32000-09, 35000-01, 36201-11; Voc 35003-53, 38001-17 (ranges known from images). 30000 has the first AeoVoc label type, mentioning Aeolian Hall at bottom. This type is also used for the first issues in the AeoVoc 1200 series (1200-1226).



Bob1951 4th Jun 2017		I am the one that sent that Mp3 to the archive. Thanks for the information. I do not think that they sold too many of them. I hope anyone that has Vocalion 30000 series records will send the label images here. They are most likely quite rare. I did see one in the Aeolian-Vocalion label section. Only 160 more to go.



xiphophilos 4th Jun 2017		Aeolian Vocalion's 30000 Standard Selections series starts in ca. 1920 with this recording, also by May Peterson: Just like Victor with its single-faced Red Seal records (produced till late 1923), Aeolian-Vocalion (from Aug. 1921, just Vocalion) continued to release one-sided records featuring celebrity singers for several years alongside double-sided records. Apparently, fans of immensely popular stars like May Peterson or John Charles Thomas were willing to pay $1.25 for a single song. The company often released only one or two of these records per month, but they issued more than 160 of them, which indicates at least some success. I just saw that Vocalion 30162 (John Charles Thomas) was announced in Talking Machine World, Dec. 15, 1922, p. 178 for January 1923.



xiphophilos 4th Jun 2017		Mp3 available online at: https://archive.org/details/TheCuckooClock-mayPeterson All her recordings are at: http://www.southwestern.edu/infoservices/departments/specialcollections/exhibits/peterson/Recordings.htm



Bob1951 4th Jun 2017		I do not know what Vocalion was trying to accomplish with this series. This dates from around 1920-1923 most likely. Really? $1.25 for a single-sided record that is not very good and not very long? It is only one minute and 47 seconds long. I cannot find any information on the Vocalion 30000 series anywhere. This is the only Vocalion 30000 series record that I have ever seen. This series must not have been very successful.
