	Victor Talking Machine Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victor had the rights in the United States and Latin America to use the famous trademark of the dog Nipper listening to an early disc phonograph.
		Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family are considered the founders of country music and their songs were first captured at an historic recording session in Bristol, Tennessee on August 1, 1927 where Ralph Peer was the talent scout and sound recordist for Victor Records.
		The Japanese Victor Company (JVC), founded in 1922, severed its ties to RCA Victor at the start of World War II, and is still one of the oldest and most successful Japanese record labels as well as an electronics giant.

	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Jazz Exchange - Race Records
		Record companies were eager to increase their markets, and even developed some non-musical recordings, including recorded sermons, gospel music, spirituals and comedy routines.
		By the time the recording industry got on its feet again in the mid-30s with the advent of crooners such as Bing Crosby and bandleader Benny Goodman, what had been known as "race" music was firmly ensconced in the center of the popular culture.
		Gradually, the majors began recording their own versions of the whatever hits the independents were lucky enough to have, and by the 50s, race recording labels became superfluous.

	The Victor Talking Machine Company (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		After Victor's shipping department was completed in 1915, cabinets were fed across the 4th floor bridge from the cabinet factory to meet motor board assemblies fed across by a similar 4th floor bridge from the metal manufacturing plant.
		At the end of a single record the needle would have developed a "face," and since the inside grooves of a record had a different contour than the outside, the needle at the end of a record would not fit the grooves as it had when it was new.
		Victor was never very enthusiastic about Fibre, or Thorn needles, although they were used, to some extent, by people who were afraid of hurting their prized records.

	RCA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1929, RCA purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company, then the world's largest manufacturer of phonographs (including the famous "Victrola") and phonograph records (in British English, "gramophone records").
		In 1931, RCA Victor developed and released the first 33⅓ rpm records to the public.
		The format was a commercial failure at the height of the Great Depression, partially because the records and playback equipment were expensive.

	Victor Talking Machine Company : Victor Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The company was named "The Victor" in honor of legal victories by Johnson & Berliner over Zonophone and others, related to their rights to patents on and distribution of their products.
		After increasing the quality of disc records and phonographs, Johnson began an ambitious project to have the most prestigious singers and musicians of the day record Victor Records, and when possible sign exclusive agreements to record only for Victor.
		The Japanese Victor Company later severed it's ties to RCA Victor at the start of World War II and is still in business under the acronym JVC.

	Victor Records
		In the U.S., both Victor and Columbia agreed to issue the new records in all-but-secrecy, with Victor's electric sides indicated only by an inconspicuous "V.E." in an oval in the run-out area.
		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.

		The large top-of- the-line "Credenza" models of Orthophonic Victrolas had a 6 foot long horn coiled inside the cabinet, and are often considered the high point of the development of the commercial wind-up phonograph, offering audio fidelity seldom matched by most home electric phonographs until some 30 years later.
		In 1928, Johnson sold his controlling interest in Victor to the banking firm of Siegelman & Spyer, who in 1929 sold to the Radio Corporation of America, which then became known as the Radio-Victor Division of the Radio Corporation of America later RCA Victor.
		The Japanese Victor Company severed its ties to RCA Victor at the start of World War II, and is still in business under the acronym JVC.

	Victor's Orthophonic Credenza - the King of Machines? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		It became Victor's "flagship" model during the so-called Orthophonic era, from late 1925 to 1929 or so, which are the early years of electric recording.
		Electrically recorded discs had actually been issued by Victor as early as May 1925 but the record-buying public was not told that these were "electric." It was kept a secret.
		Your Credenza will play electrically recorded records from the 1930s and 1940s but will not reproduce all the fidelity recorded into these discs since they are meant to be played with an electric pickup, amplifier, and speaker.

	The Acoustical Mikado and Pinafore in America
		The opera, as recorded by the most famous Gilbert and Sullivan company in the world, namely, the Rupert D'Oyly Carte Opera Company of England, is complete from overture to final chorus on the eleven twelve-inch, double-faced records encased in the handsome album.
		The libretto is marked to indicate the beginning and end of each record, and the words of each number in the whole opera follow in proper sequence.
		Unlike the 1917 Mikado, the 1922 Pinafore set never was, apparently, available in the USA as single records (except by special order, which was the case with all of Victor's album sets through to the end of the 78 era).

	UCSB Press Release: "Major Donation to Enable UCSB Libraries to Produce Discography of Victor Records "
		Victor was held in such high esteem that the greatest performers and entertainers of the time would only record for the company.
		Victor and The Gramophone Co., its counterpart in the United Kingdom, were the first recording companies with offices all over the world.
		The multi-volume work also traces the evolution of sound recording from the acoustic era that used a horn to record and reproduce sound (1900-1925), to the electric era (1925-1950) that began with the invention of the microphone.

	E.J.N. - VICTOR BAILEY
		The title track highlights Victor's vocal scatting in union with his tight, staccato basslines and "Feels Like a Hug" is a melodic vehicle underscored by cleanly picked arpeggios and synth bass while also featuring some two handed tapping excursions on Victor's solo.
		Having memorized the song and the solo note for note when he was still a teenager, Victor would later put heartfelt words to the tune in memory of the late, great bassist who was such a towering influence on so many players.
		As Victor explains, "They were just putting a rhythm section together for her appearance on the show and she knew who we were and asked the musical director to see if he could get us.

		But when the person on the record started to sing, my brain waves suddenly awoke from their solid REM state and started to suck in the conscious and rich lyrics delivered by a gorgeous male vocalist.
		Victor just returned from a trip to Vienna and Greece where he performed some of his music, and we start talking about the experiences he collected during his journey to the southern part of Europe.
		Victor continues that after these years of apprenticeship as a musician he decided to focus on his very own vision of music that is based on songs, melodies and most important, messages.

	The 78rpm Home Page - Bluebird (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		From 1946 to 1950 some Bluebird recordings were re-released using the original Bluebird serial number on the RCA Victor label.
		When a record from an earlier era was re-released, it would bear the label that was being used at the time of re-release instead of the original label.
		Thus, we can find a record bearing a serial number from 1934, the buff era, which was re-released in 1942 bearing the then current "dog 2" label.

	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.

	Opera on Old 78 RPM Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		If you wonder why these Red Seal records can be often found today in near-mint condition whereas 78s of pop hits are often worn, keep in mind that opera records were not used for dancing, so they were not generally played as often as popular jazz and blues numbers.
		Victor continued issuing one-sided records for these artists until 1922, long after it made use of both sides of a record for non-classical artists.
		Victor made one-sided records for over two decades, so they are not necessarily the oldest 78s nor the most valuable.

		There was such esteem for Victor that the greatest voices and entertainers of the time would only record for Victor.
		This record was released soon after the piece was first performed and was soon replaced by a much more common electrically recorded record.
		This recording was made in most probably 1926 and has the voice of Bing Crosby when he was only 23 years old and in the dawn of a great career.

		The records, however, give listeners a glimpse of life in the United States, from 1914 to 1923.
		The songs were recorded chronologically through the number series, and so you can see waves of immigration, America going to war, America recovering from war -- all in music.
