The records were produced for the use of United States military personnel overseas. These 12-inch, vinyl 78 rpm recordings were created for the Army between October 1943 and May 1949. Navy discs were released between July 1944 and September 1945. Twelve-inch discs were used because, when 136 grooves per inch were used, they could hold up to six and a half minutes of music..
