The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I came across a 78 rpm record I've never seen before and am having a difficult time researching. It is a Pictorecord. The title is 'Fiesta' and the number is 526. It is a fox trot/vocal chorus by Mike Special Orchestra. It's an electrical recording. It has the picture of what appears to be a 'flapper' from the 1920's but I think it's probably from the late 1940's or early 1950's.

Can someone provide me with some information on this record or perhaps point me in a direction where I can get more information about it?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

My pleasure. That's one obscure record!! I have found nothing on it in any of my reference books so far, but hopefully someone here may be able to provide more info. Perhaps Kurt Nauck my be aware of its origin, but I don't know if he regularly reads these threads. I've never seen one like it. Is it laminated in vinylite, like a Vogue? Would it be possible to see a clear photo of the box with the title, etc?
