Description
Victor 10.5” 78 RPM One Sided In-Plant Test Record Ted Weems “I Lost My Gal”
VG+ Visible Condition, 3 tiny edge chips but edges are HUGE so no impact, scratches but play is nice with light hiss. Victor 10.5” 78 RPM very thick One Sided (in plant engineered not for sale) Test/Sample Record “I Lost My Gal” Ted Weems & Orch. This was one of the engineered samples pressed prior to release. The labelled area around spindle hole is hand written “BE 67512 Feb 19, 1931 182 2 3010-I “I Lost My Gal” +6/0 4-3”. I bought these in an estate sale lot about 30 years ago and put them away for safekeeping (They were definitely safe as it took 30 years to find them in all my collection). According to his family the deceased worked as a sound engineer for Victor Talking Machine Co and later RCA Victor from the 1920’s until he retired and these are samples he kept that were “tweaked” by Victor sound engineers to get the best play. The sound is quite good despite the scratches. Released as Victor 22637 Feb, 19, 1931 so this is the final test prior to release. See Victor matrix info below.
