Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 1st Feb 2023		Victor used the label name "Victrola Record" from 1908-1913 (the year it introduced the Batwing label). Later, it revived the label name for its Red Seal records but shortened it to simply "Victrola" (1918-1935). "Upon introduction of the Patents label [in 1908, Xiph.], the premium priced Red Seals (#81000 and above) were re-titled "VICTROLA RECORD" ... Lower-priced Red Seals (under $2.00) retained the more pedestrian title, "VICTOR RECORD"," cf. M. W. Sherman, Collector's Guide to Victor Records, 2nd ed., page 79.
KeithS SUBS 2nd Feb 2020		Here's the same thing but on Victor..is yours on Victrola?
daleedge 2nd Feb 2020		The record I have is not in top condition but I'm sure it would sound all right. Since I don't have a record player I can't really tell the quality. Unfortunately it does not have a paper jacket to put it in nor does it have the original album cover. The record is recorded only on one side with notes about the singer and verses of the song on the back.
