Description

Up for bid is an original Cinematone Studios Penny Phono record from 1939-40.

Details:
VS 1089 / 1090
info unavailable

This appears to be an unlabeled test pressing of a 12" variable speed record made specifically for the rare Penny Phono record machines of the period. This is the only one like it I have seen. "1089" and "1090" are stamped on each side. "Compton" is written on 1089 side in pencil.
Penny phono records were created in a specialized Hollywood Studio--the only coin-operated phonograph manufacturer in the world making both the phonograph and the records.  These were made for the Cinematone Penny Phono jukebox, by Cinematone. Only made in 1939-40 -- and both the players and the records are very rare now.

This record grades V-. Some scuffs, scratches and wear. Retains some gloss. No warps or cracks.
 
Record will be carefully packed with heavy cardboard box, bubble wrap, etc. and shipped via USPS with delivery tracking/confirmation. 

Penny Phono Jukebox made by Cinematone Corporation played the very special records which were made in Cinematone Studios exclusively for their jukeboxes and featured 10 tracks per record. These special variable speed records were distributed weekly by mail to the owners, bars, clubs, soda shops, containing the Penny Phono Jukebox machines.
