Description

Wonderful Vintage Vogue Picture Record - Highly Collectible!

Vibrant colors have lasted over the years

Side A - I Surrender Dear - Gordon Clifford & Harry Barris

This was actually Bing Crosby's first solo hit - Lyrics below

Picture of a beautiful young woman with her heart on a plate

and a sinister shadow of a batman-like dude in the background.

Maybe this is where the saying "She wears her heart on her sleeve"...oh wait

she doesn't have sleeves, hmmmmmm.

Side B - S'posin - Razaf - Denniker

Picture of a young good looking couple I guess dreaming of their future together.   Kinda remind me of a young Ward and June Cleaver not even lying!

The King's Jesters and Louise performed both songs I believe.

I did not play these so do not offer an opinion on the sound quality.

Vogue Records was a short-lived United States-based record label of the 1940s, noted for the artwork embedded in the records themselves. 
Founded in 1946 as part of Sav-Way Industries of Detroit, Michigan, the discs were initially a hit, because of the novelty of the colorful artwork, and the improved sound compared to the shellac records dominant at the time.

The discs were manufactured by first sandwiching printed illustrations around a core of aluminum, then coating both sides with clear vinyl upon which the grooves were stamped.

The company went out of business the following year, having released between 67 and 74 double-sided 78 rpm gramophone records. 
Some of the Vogue issues were re-releases of recordings originally issued by other companies. 
The colorful artwork on the records have made Vogue Records a collector's item.
