Long description
This is a photograph of a V-Disc label on a vinyl record. The picture shows the centre of the record so the edges cannot be seen. The record’s circular label has the large capitalised title ‘V Disc’ across the centre with the top half of the title in blue against a white background, and the bottom half of the title in white against a red background. The top half of the label, with the white background, has the text ‘Army – Navy – Marine Corps – Coast Guard’ capitalised in blue along the circular edge of the label. Beneath this, in the centre of this half of the label, is the text, in blue: ‘No. 7218’, then underneath this ‘Twilight on the Trail’, then ‘Claude Thornhill and his Orchestra’ and beneath this, ‘Dance’ and ‘‘NN’ Release’. The bottom-half of the label with the red background has beneath the ‘V Disc’ title, in white, ‘Produced by the Music Branch Special Services Division War Department’. Around the circular edge of this half of the label is the capitalised text, in white, ‘outside start 78rpm’.
