We're making these V-Discs to bore you to death--they'll be worth two cents a piece in the 50's. I used to buy them at Goodwill Stores for a quarter just to break them. Sometimes I'd lay one under the right rear wheel of my car, step on the gas and shoot the thing out from under to everyone's delight!
@VictrolaJazz We always made fun of the 40's with their hubba hubba stuff, but you're right, they are rare. I just don't care for the music. We used to pass up Vogue picture records from the same era in Goodwill Industries stores when they could be bought for a quarter and now they're worth a fortune, too!
@rbratcherjr Don't worry! I never did it to a V-Disc! Just because I didn't happen to like the music, I know a lot of people do and I would never destroy one of those patriotically recorded treasures! Now I have done it to a Frank Sinatra and Stan Kenton record or two, though...
@VictrolaJazz You'd better not destroy a Frank Sinatra record in my presence. I collect those too btw. On the other hand most of them are not rare by any means.
@rbratcherjr Well I know for a fact that their value doubled in the week after Mr. Sinatra died! You had to start paying 10 cents apiece for them then! No, I would never do that and in fact I've never run over a Frank Sinatra, either! My friends and I just liked to act silly talking about it!
Hi .....The copy of the v-disc recording is as complete as posted on youtube.....I found it on a DVD called "HOLLYWOOD AT WAR " that I purchased at a DOLLAR store.....years ago I remember seeing that documentary on a PBS station .........
I really wish we could get behind our soldiers now like we did back then.

Great video clip. The recording lathe is running at 33 RPM. They dubbed that to a 78 RPM master then used that to make stampers for the V-Discs.

@VictrolaJazz Your words bring sheer terror to a record collector such as myself who does collect the V-Discs.....
