Coca-Cola WWII War Department 33 Record

Post by MikeB »

I found this record with several V-discs. It's a Coca-Cola WWII War Department record. I've been collecting Coca-Cola memorabilia since I was a kid in the 1970's, and I have never seen one of these records. Thought I'd post it here to see if anyone has any information. I couldn't find it in any Coca-Cola collectibles book either.

My guess would be something similar to the V-discs, but more of a "show" format?

"Spotlight Bands" was a running live show and radio broadcast for servicemen / women that featured many performers. It looks like this one was sponsored by Coca-Cola is all.
