History

Vogue picture discs were produced between 1946 and 1947 by Sav-Way Industries in Detroit, Michigan. These innovative records featured colorful artwork printed directly onto the playing surface, making them highly collectible novelties during the post-war era. Only about 74 different titles were released before production ceased due to high manufacturing costs and sound quality issues. Vogue picture discs are prized by record collectors, music historians, and vintage Americana enthusiasts for their unique visual appeal and historical significance as one of the earliest attempts at picture disc technology. The combination of jazz music from the big band era with eye-catching graphic design makes these records particularly desirable to collectors of both vintage music formats and mid-century popular culture memorabilia.
