Description

SHELLAC 12" 78rpm LOT: 5x STOKOWSKI & Philadelphia Orchestra Victor/Victrola LPs


This is a 4x LP lot of 12" shellacs, released by Victor and Victrola Records, featuring the "sumptuous" sounds of the The Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by the incomparable Leopold Stokowski. Each of these 12" records are encased in generic library sleeves with labels in the upper left - see photos for details. 


Some background on Victrola/RCA Victor Shellac 78rpm LPs: Victrola 12" shellac discs were produced through 1929 by the Victor Talking Machine Co. (prior to its affiliation with RCA). In 1925, Victor began issuing "orthophonic" records, electrically recorded with a higher fidelity sound to compete with the new technology of radio broadcasts. Victrola records featuring the "scroll label" and "VE" (Victrola Electric) are part of the electrically recorded pre-RCA era during which time brilliant artists like Yehudi Menuhin, Erica Morini, Zinka Milanov and many more recorded. After the 1929 RCA acquisition of the Victor Talking Machine Co., 78 RPM 12" shellac production continued to improve and RCA Victor shellacs were known for being some of the best sounding records available during the depression era. 


Because these discs require a special player, we are UNABLE to test or play grade them. We have described each item to the best of our ability and are selling these discs AS IS.
