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 government and various private U.S. record companies. The records were produced for the use of US military personnel overseas. Many popular big bands, singers, orchestras and small groups of the era recorded special V-Disc records. These 12 inch vinyl and shellac 78 records 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.
