Unusual 78 Victor "banded" 78 - Childrens record 78 RPM

Hey YouTubers! Didn't do a lot of record shopping this week...Very cold outside!!!! But...I did venture over to Mary Catherine's Antiques briefly...Found 2 really unusal very early 78's. They're banded. They have tracks. I've seen 78's like this from the late 40's and (of course) frome the 50's. But...from the early 20's???? Never! Has anyone else seen 78's like these? Play a record today!

That is just so fascinating Raymond, great find. I have only found a few banded records like that over the years on old 78's, and you end up finding them for 50 cents each !! That Victor Bat wing goes all the way back to 1911 !! How neat is that?? Keeping finding that neat stuff, and sharing. Happy Collecting !!

I remember hearing songs like these on a Peter Pan book and record. Of course the recordings were much newer than on that old Victor record. The Victor records had a few songs I probably never heard before. I probably have at one time when I was a few years old on Peter Pan, Disneyland, Happy Time, or other such records.

How Cool you mention Happy Time records!! My MOST favorite children's records label. What I've found so far is like psychedelic children's music. Reallly Groovey music!!

I do not understand why Elizabeth Wheeler acoustically recorded a "banded" disc with and too short songs in a time (1911) in which there was no technology to record grooves between tracks. Cutting engineer for this disc had to work very hard to control the recording time of each track. It's incredible.

I can tell you that this particular disc was recorded on May 8, 1918. The "Rhythms For Children" disc, featuring the "Victor Orchestra", was recorded in December 1926.
