Description
A V-Disc ("V" for Victory") was a morale-boosting initiative involving the production of several series of recordings during the World War II era by special arrangement between the United States Government and various private U.S. record companies. The records were produced for the use of United States military personnel overseas. Many popular singers, bands, and orchestras of the era recorded special V-Disc records. These 12-inch, vinyl 78 RPM gramophone recordings were created for the Army between October 1943 and May 1949. Navy discs were released between July 1944 and September 1945. Twelve inch discs were used because, when 136 grooves per inch were used, they could hold up to six and a half minutes of music.
This auction is for four of these records. The records appear to be in average (good) condition, and include vintage paper sleeves. I found them in a hardcover portfolio which has protected them well over the years.
