[78-L] ARTO Label Question

[Tyrone Settlemier]

Arto was completely unrelated to Victor.  Also unrelated to Emerson, 
although both used the 45-degree "univeral" cut.  If you post this to 
youtube, transfer in stereo, then throw away one of the channels.

I wouldn't call them truly rare, but you don't run across them every day, 
either.

By the way, enjoyed the Glenn Miller promo you posted recently.

Subject: [78-L] ARTO Label Question


Just brought home a collection 78s and found a few labels I haven't seen 
before. One is the ARTO UNIVERSAL RECORD, whose label bears a striking 
resemblance to the VICTOR batwing label, at least the layout, with the gold 
batwing border and text with black background. I found a couple brief 
references to this label in the 78-l archives, not to informative, though. 
Not much on the 'net, either. You can view the label here:

I assume this was a VICTOR product, probably a contemporary of their batwing 
label?? Rare, maybe?

Any comments?

Thanks! CDB
