Article: the British and French record labels
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.
Two releases on the Vogue label have been the source of much collector debate over the years: the 1946 releases by the country swing group the Down Homers "Who's Gonna Kiss You When I'm Gone?" and "Boogie Woogie Yodel" have often been cited as featuring the earliest recorded performances by future rock and roll pioneer Bill Haley, who was a member of the group in 1946. However this rumor was later debunked by surviving members of the Down Homers as well as Haley researchers. Nonetheless, the Vogue Down Homers releases are considered among the more collectable of the label's releases.

VOGUE PICTURE DISC
78'S - VERY COLLECTIBLE................................
Full
Inventory list of Vogue 78 rpm Picture Dics
Vogue picture records were produced by Sav-Way Industries of Detroit,
Michigan. The first 10-inch Vogue picture record (catalog number R707)
was released to the public in May 1946. Production ceased less than a
year later in April 1947, with Sav-Way entering into receivership in
August 1947. During this time, approximately seventy-four different
10-inch Vogue picture records were released.
Each illustration has an "R" number (or catalog number) printed on it,
ranging from R707 to R786. There are gaps in the sequence; not all of
the eighty possible catalog numbers were used. There is also a "P"
number (or matrix number) printed on the illustration (next to the
copyright symbol). The printed matrix number should match the matrix
number inscribed in the lead-out area of the record. Some collectors
have found Vogue picture records with errors where the illustration
doesn't match the song pressed on that side of the record; these
records are sometimes marked as a "Factory Reject".
Vogues
with damaged illustrations (smeared ink, torn paper, etc.) are
sometimes marked as a "Vogue Second".
Vogue picture records were of a very high quality, with little surface
noise. The records were produced using a complicated process
whereby a central core aluminum disc was sandwiched between the paper
illustrations and vinyl. Perfecting this process took quite a
while; Tom Saffady and his engineers spent several months working out
the bugs that often resulted in torn or dislodged paper illustrations.

The first and most popular release
from Vogue in the U.S.
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.he colorful artwork on the records have made Vogue Records a
collector's item.
Two releases on the Vogue label have been the source of much collector
debate over the years: the 1946 releases by the country swing group the
Down Homers "Who's Gonna Kiss You When I'm Gone?" and "Boogie Woogie
Yodel" have often been cited as featuring the earliest recorded
performances by future rock and roll pioneer Bill Haley, who was a
member of the group in 1946. However this rumor was later debunked by
surviving members of the Down Homers as well as Haley researchers.[1]
Nonetheless, the Vogue Down Homers releases are considered among the
more collectable of the label's releases.
