THE VICTOR RECORD CATALOG
OF BLACK LABEL AND BLUE LABEL RECORDS
HE idea of a strictly alphabetical record catalog origiAle nated with the Victor Talking Machine Company and
established a new standard in publications of this kind. This catalog contains records of the black label and blue label series only. The Victor Red Seal Catalog, which is issued separately, follows the same general method except that listings are arranged alphabetically under the name of the artist the names of the artists being also in alphabetical order.
It will be observed that this catalog has no index—or
How to use hes ; ieee itt rather, it is all index—every title being in its proper place, with every record alphabetically indexed, each with its number, size and catalog price printed plainly after the title. Where a double-faced
record is listed both titles are given. For example, double-faced record No. 45305, appears under the E’s, as follows:
(epene Rapsodie (Chabrier) Two Pianos Pere ee peor) Waltz (from Suite for Two Pianos) (Arensky) Maier-Pattison
45305|10|1.00
This record will also be found under the W's, with titles reversed, thus:
tensa (Arensky, Op. 15) (from Suite for Two Pianos) pera ou Espafia Rapsodie (Chabrier) Two Pianos Maier-Pattison
45305 10 1.00
Titles appear in their proper alphabetical order, with the name of the selection on the other side of the record indented and printed in italic type in order that it may keep the alphabetical column perfectly clear.
Dance records are an exception to this rule, The title of every dance record appears once only in alphabetical order under the general heading Dance Records.
Similarly there are recapitulations of single titles under such groups as ‘‘Band,” ‘‘Orchestra,”” “Violin” in order that a complete list of all such music may be available for reference.
