The Music America Loves Best
The following collection of records should be of especial interest to any American who likes music of any type. This list has been chosen on the sole basis of its appeal to the American public. These are the records that America wants; this is the music that America loves. The records have been selected not by the RCA Victor Company, but by the public itself. No consideration of technical excellence or sophisticated musical taste has entered into this choice. It is based entirely on the preferences of the public as reflected directly in sales totals during the year preceding the issue of this catalog.
This list is interesting further because it encompasses every type of musicand, therefore, gives an accurate cross-section of what the average person, who is fond of music, prefers. It should be of material assistance to anyone who perhaps is confused by the amazing wealth of entertainment offered on Victor records and who is unable to choose, without considerable investigation of the catalog, a representative group of records. It is, therefore, safe to say that if this list be used as a guide, anyone interested in recorded music will find himself in possession of a representative collection. It is certain that any item chosen from this list will be an outstanding example of its particular type.
