Vogue Picture Disc # 4

Photobucket

Every Two weeks I am posting a different Vogue picture record from the 1940’s. The illustrations are sweet, and an interesting time capsule.
For the full story behind these records, check out the Association Of Vogue Picture Record Collectors.

Vogue Picture Disc # 3

The illustrations used on many Vogue picture records are signed by the artist. Ed Basl, a Vogue picture record collector, undertook the effort to track down the persons behind those signatures. Ed kept a record of each of these searches, and has made that information available for our use. Thanks to Ed's efforts, Richard Harker, Will Wirts, Sprink, Corbett, R. Forbes, and M. Kanouse are no longer names unattached to persons.

Vogue Picture Disc # 2

Vogue picture records are phonograph records on the "Vogue" label which have a picture (an artist's illustration) embedded in the transparent vinyl of the record. The illustrations on each side of the record are usually related to the title of the song on that side. Many of the illustrations are mushy romantic themes (see the discography). The most common Vogue picture records are 10-inch, 78 RPM records, although a few 12-inch, 78 RPM Vogue picture records were also produced.

During this time, approximately seventy-four different 10-inch Vogue picture records were released.
