The whole Victor/ RCA Victor and sub-types is a real mess.

What we have at least as far as the USA goes is (not counting the pre-Victor labels):

Victor
Victrola
Victor Red Seal
RCA Victor
RCA Victor Red Seal
RCA Victor Red Seal De Luxe
RCA Victor Bluebird Series

All of these, with the possible exception of the Bluebird Series (as opposed to Bluebird itself, which is separate already), should be broken out into their own labels. The same goes for RCA Victor Red Seal De Luxe. That leaves us with 5 distinct incarnations:

Victor
Victrola
Victor Red Seal
RCA Victor
RCA Victor Red Seal

While 'Red Seal' could be combined into its parents, it is nice if it is broken out, too

RCA seemed to have a lot of "series" also but these can be left as they are within the parents

Now if only people wouldn't upload RCA Victors as Victors
