Victor Monarch Record (w/ a White Label)

[JPow]

Is anyone familiar with this label? I'm used to seeing a black background w/ gold lettering. This is the first time I've seen a Victor Monarch label with a white background and black lettering.

This is a “test pressing”. ERJ, and then VTMC, used white labels with black print on the vast majority of records of this type. Early test pressings are relatively hard to come by. It will be interesting to see where the bidding ends...
