Description
Wonderful Vintage Vogue Picture Record - Highly Collectible!
Vibrant colors have lasted over the years
Side A - The Bell's of St. Mary's - Douglas Furber & A. Emmett Adams
I wonder why Emmett doesn't like his first name?
Picture of a couple holding hands on a hill overlooking a picturesque
church scene with a lake in the background.
Look closely, the girl has her eyes closed, but the guy is looking off to the side like he is noticing something.
He also has white dress shoes on so maybe he is the same guy on the flip side.
Side B - Star Dust - Mitchell Parish & Hoagy Carmichael
Picture is a handsome young man smoking wearing white dress shoes, smokin a pipe on the terrace overlooking a lake at night.
He is completely unaware of the giant woman's face in the stars just above him but she is there and looking right at him.
The Don Large Chorus performed both songs I believe.
I did not play these so do not offer an opinion on the sound quality.
Vogue Records was a short-lived United States-based record label of the 1940s, noted for the artwork embedded in the records themselves.
Founded in 1946 as part of Sav-Way Industries of Detroit, Michigan, the discs were initially a hit, because of the novelty of the colorful artwork, and the improved sound compared to the shellac records dominant at the time.
The discs were manufactured by first sandwiching printed illustrations around a core of aluminum, then coating both sides with clear vinyl upon which the grooves were stamped.
The company went out of business the following year, having released between 67 and 74 double-sided 78 rpm gramophone records.
Some of the Vogue issues were re-releases of recordings originally issued by other companies.
The colorful artwork on the records have made Vogue Records a collector's item.
