Although, I must admit that since I've never posted a picture here I might need to ask for some help. I can easily get a .jpg image of it with my digital camera but if you or someone else would be so kind as to let me know how to post it I'll be pleased to! I have a number of other unusual records and labels that may be of interest to a few folks here. Being a very low profile type (I've never been to a phono show in more than twenty years of collecting!) it's wonderful to have this nice Forum to share a few odds and ends of interest that I've acquired over the years.
As far as the questions from others on the speed that I played the record in my video, I originally set my Victor 'D' for 60 revolutions and then played the record for about 30 seconds and it sounded like it was just a little fast. I adjusted the speed ever so slightly until it sounded about right to me and then shot the video. When editing the video later on I had forgotten that I decreased the speed slightly to produce what I felt was a better sounding playback. To be honest, it didn't matter to me how many revolutions the record was actually playing at after I fiddled a little with the speed. My only interest was that the viewers could see and listen to the record playing at what I felt sounded about right. A couple of my music box videos sound like they're playing a little too fast now that I review a few of them so maybe my hearing is a little off (insert big smile)!
Thanks again, John, and everyone for the warm and gracious welcome!
