Description: (African American music) VICTOR RACE RECORDS Orthophonic Recording (Mar 8, 1929) Catalog Camden, NJ: Victor Talking Machine Company, 1929. Vintage original catalog, printed wrappers, 8 3/4 x 3 3/4" (22.5 x 9.5 cm), [20] pp. Minor occasional spotting, a little rust staining to staples, overall near fine. This catalog has a date of March 8, 1929. Many legendary African American musicians are listed here, including: Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, Tommy Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Mamie Smith and Rev. J. M. Gates. The Orthophonic Victrola, introduced by Victor in 1925, was the first consumer phonograph that was specifically designed to play electrically recorded phonograph records -- a breakthrough in the history of sound reproduction. (Wikipedia) This is a very scarce pamphlet. WorldCat lists exactly one example of the 1928 edition of this catalog, and none of this 1929 printing. I can also find no example of this having appeared at auction. FREE SHIPPING WITHIN CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES! FedEx Ground / Home Delivery or USPS Priority Mail, fully insured with tracking number.
