THIS IS A RARE 78 RPM PICTURE DISK RECORD OF THE POPULAR SINGER MARION MANN ON
Vogue Picture Disk Records
The brainchild of inventor and entrepreneur Tom Saffady, Vogue records were designed to get attention. In an age of highly breakable, black shellac 78 rpm records, Vogues were different. Saffady used an aluminum platter as his base, adding a color drawing that completely covered the aluminum. The platter was then laminated with clear vinyl, into which the music was encrypted. The finished product was shipped in opaque sleeves through which the record could be seen.
Today, Vogue Picture Records are prized for the work of their graphic artists who have slipped into obscurity. Signing their work mostly with their last names, if at all, 'Sprink,' 'Kanouse' and 'Wirts' captured the giddy optimism of post
Vogue Picture Records were manufactured in Detroit, Michigan, at Sav-Way Industries during 1946 and 1947.
Vogue R 731 Between the devil and the deep blue sea (Ted Koehler, Harold Arlen) b/w You took advantage of me (Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers). Performed by Marion Mann accompanied by Bob Haggart and his orchestra. (Bob Haggart was a well known Jazz artist)
Vogue records featured a wide variety of artists, hit parade star Joan Edwards and popular singer Marion Mann to country acts like Lulu Belle and Scotty, Patsy Montana, and the Down Homers. Dance bands and orchestras were a major force in the music of the time, and sweet bandleaders Clyde McCoy, Art Kassel, Art Mooney, Shep Fields, Frankie Masters, and Sonny Dunham all recorded for Vogue
This picture disk record was recorded in the year 1946-1947 in which a limited number were produced. (Vogue was in business for a little more one year)
