Imagine spinning a slice of 1940s Americana, where vibrant illustrations dance under the needle, transporting you to a sun-dappled Sunday wedding or a cheeky backyard mishap. This rare Vogue Picture Record R718 by Lulu Belle & Scotty isn't just music—it's a portal to postwar joy, with "Some Sunday Morning" evoking tender romance through church bells and blooming daisies, and "In The Dog House Now" delivering folksy humor via a cartoon dog and chained rascal. As these illustrated 78 RPM gems vanish from the market, owning this piece means holding history that sings. Feel the nostalgia; envision it gracing your vintage setup before it's gone forever. ???
In-Depth Specs & Features
Crafted by Sav-Way Industries in Detroit during their brief 1946-1947 run, this 10-inch Vogue Picture Record boasts an innovative aluminum core bonded with transparent Vinylite for unbreakable durability, warp resistance, and crystal-clear sound—up to 500 plays without hiss.
The A-side, "Some Sunday Morning" (Jerome, Heindorf, Koehler), features a yellow-hued pastoral scene: a beaming bride in lavender veil clutching daisies, groom in suit, church steeple, and bluebird, all under a ribbon banner.
Flip to B-side "In The Dog House Now" for a whimsical cartoon: a brown dog peeking into a red "UDO" doghouse, a striped-shirted figure gnawing a bone on chain, grassy backdrop alive with humor.
Performed by Lulu Belle & Scotty, radio icons from the National Barn Dance, known for heartfelt country tunes. Condition: Pre-owned vintage, with shiny surfaces, minor scratches and groove wear (plays well on 78 RPM), no chips/cracks/warps; illustrations vivid, no milky discoloration.
Dimensions: 10" diameter (25.4 cm), ~1/8" thick; weight ~5-6 oz. Label: "Licensed P41 © For Sav-Way Non-Commercial Industries Company, Detroit. Microphone monophonic playing. Pat. pend." Unique traits: Full-color, song-themed art by period illustrators; rare country genre amid Vogue's big band dominance; home-use only licensing adds exclusivity. Provenance: Original postwar production, evoking era's optimism amid big band fade.
