Wonderful Vintage Vogue Picture Record - Highly Collectible!
Vibrant colors have lasted over the years
Side A - WaveTo Me, My Lady
William Stein & Frank Loesser
Picture of a train-hopping working man doffing his cap
to a blonde woman who is waving to him in a way I can only describe as kinda freaky and unnatural - maybe she was caught off guard!
Side B - You Won't Be Satisfied - Freddy James & Larry Stock
Picture of a classic argyle-sweater Leave-it-to-Beaver kinda guy imploring his uninterested, whistling blonde girlfriend who apparently just wants to be friends!
I did not play these so do not offer an opinion on the sound quality.
Both songs performed by Art Kassel and his Orchestra with vocals by the
Kassel Trio who I can only assume were Art's relatives, right?
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.
