A Music Soundtrack Vinyl Record (measures 12 1/4" x 12 1/4" [31 x 31 cm]; 78 RPM record) (Learn More) V-Disc (the "V" was for for Victory) was a record label that was formed in 1943 to provide records for U.S. military personnel. It was a morale-boosting initiative involving the production of recordings during World War II (WWII) by arrangement between the U.S. government and record companies. Many popular singers, big bands, and orchestras recorded V-discs (such as Morton Gould, Andre Kostelanetz, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong and many more). The program ended in 1949 and the audio masters and stampers were destroyed. Leftover V-Discs at bases and on ships were discarded, and on some occasions, the FBI and the Provost Marshal's Office confiscated and destroyed V-Discs that servicemen had smuggled home (an employee at a record company served a prison sentence for the illegal possession of over 2500 V-Discs). Important Added Info: Note that this V-Disc is in a brown paper sleeve with no printing on either side. We believe this is how they were distributed, because there would have been no reason to make jackets with images or titles, because they were not sold. Condition: very good. We have no way of verifying if the record is playable, but it appears to be. Learn More about condition grades
