ARC THEATRE USE RECORD E- 873 BY VINCENT ROSE ORCH PLAYS AT 33 1/3rd RPM
- The title is the same on both sides 'You're All I Need'. This record is made with shellac but plays at 33 rpm rather than 78 although it looks like a 78. The American Record Corporation, producer of Banner, Perfect, and other popular dime-store labels, was a latecomer to the theater-record market. By the time its Theatre Use records were introduced in early 1932, virtually all American theaters were equipped to show sound films. However, all but the largest had let their house musicians go, and so ARC recommended the records be used during silent trailers, intermissions, and as "exit marches." The records were also recommended for dancing, suggesting that some were bought for use outside of theater settings. But at 75¢ for a single selection, and with nearly the same material available on ARC's 25¢ commercial labels, they held little appeal for the general public. As a result sales were not good and therefore the records are fairly rare. The ARC Theatre Records — which were sold outright and not keyed to cue sheets — differed markedly from Victor's in that many were recorded specifically for the series, rather than being recycled from commercial releases. As with the Pict-Ur-Discs, the same selections appeared on both sides, but titles were offered in the customer's choice of 78 or 33-1/3 rpm. Although the ARC files are not entirely clear, it appears that the 33-1/3 versions were dubbed from the 78-rpm masters. Dance band numbers that had previoulsy appeared on ARC's commercial labels were re-recorded without vocal choruses, and many sides have longer playing times and differences in arrangements or solos that distinguish them from their commercial counterparts. The emphasis was on up-to-the-minute hits, and labels carried artist credits, although true to form for ARC, some of those credits were pseudonyms.
- Here are the details:
- The record is in E condition.
- The labels are very slightly marked
- Shipping prices are $7.39. As many of you know, I have recently made the move to Canada. Despite higher postage charges I have committed to keep these costs roughly in line with those in the US even if it means that I make a small loss. All packages will be sent by airmail with tracking and my experience so far is that there has been no delay apart from on a few occasions and some parcels are getting through quicker than US media mail. Rates other than to the US will be advised separately.
- Full refund is given for any reason if goods are returned within 10 days of receipt
