Re: [ARSCLIST] Records History
I do have a 10" Program Transcription pressed in vinyl/victrolac - but it's
an Argentinian pressing, according to the label.

Aside from flexi-type discs such as those made in Europe around 1930 and
the
various products from Flexo about the same time, the first use I know of a
plastic similar to later vinyl pressings is Vitrolac, which Victor was
using
for commercial pressings in 1931. Radio transcriptions for broadcast use,
the
early long-playing Program Transcriptions (only twelve-inchers used it,
and
then not all of them) and some commercial 78 issues a couple of years
later,
such as Schoenberg's Gurrelieder.
