I have this picture of a Victor sleeve that looks like the "race" and "country" ones, obviously for immigrants (Italian, French, Russian artists are provided), that shows releases under a 80000 series (81229: Giuletta Motino, 80509: Kiristoff's Balaika Orch, 81457: Pietro). Though I can't find any listing of a 10" 80000 series.
Any thoughts ?
I've found complete listings for the 85000 series and beyond, but nothing for a low numbered 80000 series. Thanks for the tip then.
Doesn't seem they have released much in that number.
Not used with DAHR, which is a shame.
Definitively from 1928 - like the similar "Country" and "Race" sleeves.
Will obviously update it with a new batch of sleeves I'm working on pretty soon.
That's a 12-inch German ethnic recording, Victor 59051, Die Sechs Hungrigen Musikanten [= The Six Starving Musicians], "Tief im Böhmerwald" (Deep in the Bohemian Forest) / "Trink' mer noch ein Tröpchen" (Let's Have Another Sip), both recorded Chicago, IL, June 23, 1928.(DAHR)
All the recordings on the sleeve are probably listed in Richard Spottswood, Ethnic Music on Records, 5 vols.(e.g., vol. 2 Slavic)
Victor 21456, by the way, is the Garde Républicaine Band with "Le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse" / "Le Pere de la Victoire", both recorded Paris, November 25, 1927.(DAHR)
Victor 80667 is Marimba Centro-Americana with "Mi cielo azul" / "Charmaine" (DAHR)
