[78-L] Jimmie Rodgers Museum

[David Lennick]

Victor in Canada kept the Batwing label in use through 1946, matter of fact..never had the Scroll. Bluebird labels looked fairly similar to the US version, and we kept the buff label in use through 1939 and had "Staff" in use for about five minutes.

 

I think the VE oval was in use even beyond the switch to a standard run-out, but not m uch longer..it also stayed on the labels through the mid 30s. Not sure if Canadian-recorded Victors ever showed the Diamond. So little domestic recording activity through the 1930s, with most of it C&W and the odd dance band, who knows if they ever upgraded to the better recording system?
