Description
THIS IS "A DAY AT THE RACES", METOR-GOLDWYN-MAYER PICTRUES, AN ELECTRICAL TRANSCRIPTION, ELECTRICALLY RECORDED, 16" RECORD WITH ENVELOPE, MANUFACTURED BY RCA MANUFACTURING CO., INC. CAMDEN, N.J., U.S.A NUMBER 21440, TIME OF 13:54. LABEL READS "USE RCA VICTOR 100% SHADOWGRAPHED HALF VOLUME STEEL NEEDLES WITH 3 OUNCE PRESSURE ON NEEDLE POINT, RECORD SPEED 33 1/3 R.P.M. START NEEDLE AT INSIDE. LABEL HAS LIGHTLY WRITTEN IN PENCIL "STARTING JUNE 15" AND TWO WORDS THAT I CANNOT MAKE OUT. AT BOTTOM OF ENVELOPE "THIS ENVEOLOPE CONTAINS ONE VICTROLAC RECORD VICTROLAC IS AN IMPROVED RECORD COMPOUND HAVING INHERENTLY LOW SURFACE NOISE. IT IS TOUGH AND STORNG, PERMITTING FLEXIBILITY AND LIGHT WEIGHT." FOLLOWED BY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. BACK OF RECORD IS PRESSED WITH DESIGN AND "RCA VICTOR" AS SHOWN.
THESE RECORDS WERE MADE AROUND 1930, RARE AS THEY WERE RECORDED FROM THE INSIDE OUT LIKE SOUNDTRACKS, QUITE EXPENSIVE TO MAKE, NOT PLAYED ON A TYPICAL RECORD PLAYER BUT REQUIRE SPECIAL PLAYER, OFTEN THESE WERE USED FOR DISTRIBUTION OF SYNDICATED PROGRAMMING AND OTHER BROADCASTS THAT WERE NOT TIME SENSITIVE, RECORDED AT 33 RPM RATHER THAN 78.
THIS RECORD AND SLEEVE ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I AM NO EXPERT IN RATING BUT OTHER THAN SMALL TEARS AT VERY TOP OF SLEEVE AS SHOWN, VIRTUALLY LIKE NEW.
NO RESERVE.
