Albums galore

[PChammer]

Well, I have yet another Q but no A for these. The album...albums? say aeolian vocalion, right. Ok, I can find some information on them but can't find out any information on the record album holders themselves. Also, having a bit of a time with the Mercury hit of the week records, flexible with cardboard backings. I THINK they were made cheap during the depression but I could be wrong. The record "holders" btw, are fairly full of records, some vocalion, others not. The one laying down has no cover.

Thanks!

Paul

I don't think the Hit of the Week album belongs in the Mercury sleeve.

"Hit of the Week was a one-sided cardboard record issued by the Durium Products Company during the darkest days of the Great Depression - a time when few people could afford such luxuries as phonograph records. The records, which sold for 15 cents, were distributed through newsstands and featured the popular tunes of the day. A new record was released each Thursday."

I think you are correct, I may have the records that do go in the sleeves though, I'll have to look!

Thanks

Thanks cjprice and daroofa, I think I have enough info on these, plus I don't feel they are worth any more hassle. As far as the albums that accompany the holders , it would take far too long for me to look up and I already know they are not highly collected. I may just throw the whole lot on Ebay and be done with it.

We'll call this solved

Thanks again,

Paul
