  Gramophone record - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Analogue audio recording onto a disc was the main technology used for the storing of recorded sound for most of the 20th century.
Such records were usually sold separately, in plain cardboard sleeves that may have been printed to show producer of the retailer's name and sometimes in collections held in paper sleeves in a cardboard or leather book, similar to a photograph album, and called record albums.
While a 78 rpm record is brittle and relatively easily broken, both the microgroove LP 33⅓ rpm record and the 45 rpm single records are made from vinyl plastic which is flexible and unbreakable in normal use.

 RCA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
RCA is a trademark used by three now separate companies descended from a common ancestor, the Radio Corporation of America.
In 1929, RCA purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company, then the world's largest manufacturer of phonographs (including the famous "Victrola") and phonograph records (what are called "gramophone records" in British English).
With Victor, RCA acquired use of the famous trademark of the dog "Nipper" listening to "His Master's Voice" in the New World and other various other countries (European and Commonwealth rights to the logo were retained by Victor's independent British partner HMV).

 "Songs of All Faiths" ~ a brief history
The 1959 recordings were released on a limited distribution stereo single but were never released again in "Living Stereo" until the three-track master session tapes were discovered just prior to Perry's death in May of 2001.
After forty-two years in the RCA Victor Archives, these historic recordings are now available again in real stereo for the first time since their original issue.

 Victor Records
This created an odd situation for the 216000 series as the delay in introducing recording in Montreal (the first 216500's were recorded in Camden!) Allowed the acoustic series to reach 216499, and the last acoustic sides appeared on a 216700 series.
It is also not recorded what their dealers thought, as they were left with a stock of "old fashioned" records - the reason why the U.S. companies elected to introduce the new records quietly.
Finally in 1929 RCA acquired the Victor Talking Machine Company and merged the two under the familiar RCA Victor name (and no, they did not replace Nipper's gramophone with a cathedral-type radio!).

 RCA Victor Records
Some U.S. record firms like Brunswick and Columbia were acquired by the American Record Corporation, an amalgamation of the Cameo, Pathé, Plaza and Emerson firms which gradually became Victor's only competitor until the late-1934 start of Decca.
By this time, U.S. Victors had acquired the designation of RCA Victor (in 1946) and the label introduced in 1947 was essentially a duplicate of the current U.S. RCA label, with a legend at the top reading "Victor Black Label" (God knows why!) on the first few issues.
Canadian Victors had only a change to silver lettering on a dull fl, later charcoal-grey background, and they remained such until late 1958 or early 1959, when the more attractive U.S. label was finally introduced.
